Why does it matter where the product is from? are you one of those people who look for the "Made in the USA" label? honestly i don't care where its from and who made it.... i have nothing against Asian sweatshop workers making stuff, i actually appreciate it..

You know the income levels of everyone that shops at WalMart in California?

Sorry but its obvious you are just making up random crap just to make WalMart look bad.

In reality people from all walks of life shop at WalMart there is no stereotypical WalMart shopper... sorry.

So? German cars are popular in the US, but not vice versa.

As you can see, they don't sell American Fords in Britain and neither they do in any other European country I'm aware of.

Vauxhalls is a wholly owned subsidiary of General Motors which of course is American. GM frequently has different names for the same vehicle depending on the subsidiary. The Chevy Astro and GMC Safari are the exact same van.

Not here in Texas. Here, we actually use our trucks for, you know, truckish sorts of things, like hauling stuff.

I can't imagine life without a truck. We use the truck part of ours all the time. In fact, if I had to choose between a car and a truck, I'd choose truck every time.

That plastic cheese is not cheese- it is cheese food. Says it right on the package. Blah. I don't eat it.
