IDK, i think it would be good for Asian sales to go up. Atleast it would be suporting the American working man as aposed to the American rich guy and the Korean working man.
Cheers,

I don't understand your logic at all. Buying Asian is supporting Asian economy, not America's.

Jason,
Most japanize cars sold in america (w/ the exeption of a few) are manufactured in the USA and Canada. Most US cars are manufactured overseas in the poorer Asian companies.
Cheers,
Steven
