Import Face off-Maryland
1 - 17 of 17 Posts
How can we call a 3G an import when it is built in Normal Illinois..?.
You know import Face off is the name of the event right?
Always looking to help out friend.
Imported parts built in the US. The American way.
What we produce here for export is highly regulated for quality, which is not the case in many countries we buy crap from.
What did you have that's made in America? A coat hanger? An iron? Anyway none of this has to do with Import Face off.

Widge I seem to remember that our Spyders aren't built in Illinois, but I could be wrong. I wanna say they were made in Japan.
I'm sure they built Spyders in Japan but ours were built in Normal Illinois by Mitsubishi Motors North America.... 1G and 2G,s were DSM Diamond Star Motors... You can read that here.

While the Eclipse was basking in the sunlight, its competitors came back with smoother and faster coupes that bumped it off the list, never to return.

I would like to say I agree, but if that is true why is everything built by "The Big Three" such junk ? And yes, the U.S. delivery Eclipse was built in the U.S.. My Nissan Titan pickup was built in Mississippi. My Volvo was built in Sweden, but with parts from Japan, Germany, and the world. Why can't the U.S. companies get their ducks in a row ? They tend to just buy the cheap, ready made junk from Korea, China, Canada, etc. and try to pass it off as their own. Even their full sized trucks are not all that good and are STUPID expensive. I sold my last "Detroit" built vehicle years ago, and I will NEVER buy a new car from them again. That includes the glorified "Golf Carts" they are pushing off as the newest and latest. No thanks.

To clarify, I was talking US made products being regulated for safety and quality standards, as opposed to imported products.
We have more strident regulations than most other countries, and our patents are stolen and copied more frequently. One thing is for sure, and that is we shouldn’t be buying ANYTHING from China and using it to produce domestic products. Not only do their quality standards suck, they are not enforced. Not to mention flooding the world markets with cheap junk, which is done intentionally. Slowly but surely, China and the rest of the world is raping America, so it baffles me why we would even think of giving anyone a competitive edge in regards to trade deficits. So I agree, we need to get our shit together and pronto!!!

You duffers muck up literally every single post on this forum. Tavian asked about a drag racing event, if you don't have any input on that then shut up.
Besides. America intentionally manufactures garbage in order to maximize profit margin. Just because it's not due to lack of regulation like it is elsewhere doesn't mean it's any different. The 60's were a long time ago.

Sorry if I ruffled your feathers @Silvertune ... I did not know that this was a race off, nor that an Eclipse was classified as an Import... Just asking… Again.... I apologize
love to attend, but I need a paint job before I could even think of showing it off. 😔
No, but I'd love to hear about it or see some pics if you take 'em. I'm in Alexandria but too busy this weekend to get away. Are you competing?
