isn't there a domestically made engine for Pattern ... there was almost a

<DIV>As I recall, the Honda Goldwing and Nissan Titan are the "most
American-Made" motorcycle and truck on the market, respectively. Even
most of the Honda cars and trucks are designed, fabricated, and assembled in
the USA. The Honda Civic Sedan and Ridgeline even took top honors at
the Detroit Auto Show this past weekend. They are very high quality,
and built in America. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Unfortunately, quality is expensive and the old adage "buy cheap buy
twice" applies. I hope the US economy can move back toward the quality
end of the spectrum and away from the "$34.99 Wal-Mart DVD Player
Special" mindset, before NONE of us can afford the quality
products... <BR><BR> </DIV>

<DIV>I doubt if there is a consumer product of any value that is
truly "American Made". GM may have assembly plants in the US,
but I'd wager that half the content (parts) come from china,
mexico and india. </DIV>
