Esperante GT h:

Realistically, if I had the same amount of money to drop on a domestic as I did on my Integra, I'd look at a probe or a camaro. I wouldn't mind a 68 cougar for some reason... I always liked the look of those cars... or maybe the 53 studebaker? now I'm getting into classic cars, and that's a bad box for me to open

Well I know vehicle design would be a lot different since we have a lot of foreign design influence (Ferarri, Mitsi, Saab, BMW etc.) in both engines as well as in body.

I would think there would be less 4 cylinder engines than we see currently and more V6 and up engines...possibly even more I6 motors being used.

What about companies that are owned by domestics... like Volvo for example. Or Benz.

but then is a Honda Accord V6 considered an import when it's completely made in Ohio?

same goes with the Nissan Xterra built in TN.

I'm just saying, if we're playing this game, just call a Dodge a domestic and a Mitsu an import.

No because they are not made on US shores therefore designated as imports
