Dave, you of all people should realize that “American made and proud of it” is ridiculous. All those Toyota, Honda, Nissan and BMW plants in the US employ someone don’t they ? Also, their vehicles tend to perform quite well.

Also – Chrysler will soon go bust, meaning that your warranty will be up in the air and servicing costs are sure to increase as there are fewer dealerships and Chrysler focused repair shops.

Should have gone with another “everything’s maroon Diplomat”

The Missouri Senate is tossing around the idea of creating a bio-diesel mandate which requires all diesel fuel in Missouri to be mixed with 5% Bio-diesel fuel. I agree with you David, if bio-diesel blends (or ethanol blends) are truly the future of fuel innovation, then sales should rise naturally in the market as consumers demand rises for them, instead of forcing them into the market and upon consumers.

What model did you finally decide on Dave? The Escalade I imagine? Wait, wait. I forgot your political allegiances– obviously you went with the Hummer.
