Flu, you sound like you could be speaking from personal experience. Mind if I ask if your spouse is an import model?? Purchased new or preowned? And can you clarify that “launch control” restriction??

Let’s just say, I test drove a few imports before, and a few imports had….how should I say… commitment issues. Some were downright psychos… Then there were the ones that looked like imports but were really fine domestics, but they were all spoken for by other domestics that looked domestic.

Flu, I don’t think there have ever been a shortage of reliable domestics in this country (of ANY element). Nor do I think they were limited in production. Nor do I agree that there is particularly a long waitlist for them. However, I would have to agree that many preowned models (of both elements), especially those with optional equipment (minor children) DO have little room for negotiation.[/quote]
Domestics usually don’t like to shop for things that look importish, even though they are domestic. It’s just how it goes. How many blond/brunette’s do you see with Asian hubby’s???
…though one exception is a beautiful bruenette that’s one of my kid’s teachers. I’m still trying to figure out that one out, but she seem pretty happy with her Chinese hubby.Plus, she is completely fluent in Mandarin, more so than me…which I thought was more impressive.
