Well it finally happened.

[Magic069]

The first time in U.S. history a foreign car company out sold an Americian car company within the United States.

Any guesses on who it was?



















It was Toyota.

I saw it on the news last night, and thought I would share.

It's about damn time.

But Mazda pretty much has 100% of rotary sales...

 

[mr_pushrod]

I wonder why that could be Mazkid? lol

 

[slip2rock]

Welcome to the club America!

Next you'll have foreign fast food resturants in every high street!

Where will it end?

 

[MazKid]

I donno why that is...

You know you'd think that someone could make a rotary besides Mazda.

Ohh wait, GM and Ford had projects going back in the 60's, and both failed. If Japan can do it, America will fail it.

Mind if I revise this? If America can invent it, Japan can improve it.

That, I might agree with.

US didn't invent the Rotary...NSU did, in Japan. Felix Wankel...from Germany, came up with the design. He's the inventor, he's dead too. But Mazda is the only company to use the rotary in mass production. Come on Magic, keep up with this Mazda stuff!

 

[Magic069]

Ok ok... I didn't mean rotary persay, but I guess I asked for it.

to Mazda for keeping it alive!

duh.

aside NSU, which died in the 1970s, no one sold Rotaries afterwards aside Mazda...

that's a pretty dumb statement, Maz.

 

[mr_pushrod]

Citroen sold the GS with a bi-rotor engine in the 70's. Unsurprisingly the tips kept going so most were recalled and scrapped. They are very rare now.

Yuck. Why coulnd't it have been Nissan?

 

[mr_pushrod]

Why couldn't Nissan have done what?

...and that's what I wish Nissan had done instead of Toyota.

 

[mr_pushrod]

Ah, was wondering if you were talking rotary, lol!

 

[MazKid]

Punk, I was kidding. But it is true.

Nevermind.

Just a reminder about what the thread was oringally about!

Ha ha, very funny magic

That doesnt really surprise me.


I am happy. Every car in Canada is an import technically. So I'm not biased towards anything. Although in Canada, American cars are called domestics.

Although it's wrong, I can see it happening in the near future.

You would think it would at least be a car company that sold a decent car that outsold Chrysler. Oh well, No accounting for taste.

 

[askia47]

Not surprised about this Japan has better quality cars

 

[DGB454]

 

[askia47]
