BUY AMERICAN (avoid that made in China)

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.

Not too many but there are some.

Al Gore’s daughter is married to Chinese-American guy.

It’s changing now. It’s generally (but not always) all a question of wallet size.

[quote=afx114]Or maybe American men prefer immigrant women because they don’t take their opportunities in this country for granted. I speak from experience.[/quote]

Corollary…A lot of those immigrant women are as committed to you for as long it takes them to get a green card…

I don’t know…Frankly, it doesn’t matter where the sign other is from. There’s bad seeds across the border as well as within the borders. I just seriously think some folks have serious rice fetishes (not necessarily you), that’s all. And you can ask just about any guy that married someone chinese from mainland china. I bet more than often their standard MO is

1)Marriage.
2)Purchase house.
2)2-3 years later: 1 kid
3)After 1 kid born : in-laws (outlaws?) move in…”temporarily”
4)…Temhporary? HA HA HA….Sucker!
5)…Listening to (if you could understand) how great opportunity it would be to be in China
6)…She works. But then she expects you do work and do the housework and take her parents in too….

I see this all too often….For some of you with those rice fetishes, keep in mind.

1)When you marry, you really end up marrying the entire family…Literally….

2)Chances are your spouse would be more loyal to her parents that to you, even after marriage. Don’t get into a pissing match with your in-laws…

Bearishgurl, are you saying it’s deceptive advertising on the part the imports?

If that were the case, what is stopping the American born from behaving the same way to enjoy clothing, jewelry, weekly services, vehicles, houses, etc…?

There must be something special with the imports, otherwise, all else being equal, I don’t see why the imports would have any advantage.

Like I said before, design (beauty and a fresh look) and marketing are part of the quality. 😉
