"Forbes: The Ten Most Patriotic Vehicles "

Toyota Sienna ( minivan / 85% Domestic Content)
Forbes:"Level Field Institute (LFI), a group representing U.S.-based automakers and suppliers... says that buying a domestic-brand car, even if it’s produced elsewhere, supports significantly more U.S. jobs than buying a foreign-brand car that’s assembled in the U.S., as most of the lucrative engineering, design and executive jobs of foreign car companies are still located overseas. For example, LFI says that buying a Ford Fusion assembled in Mexico will support about six times as many jobs as a Hyundai Sonata assembled in Alabama. "
For Nannie: Patriotism is also doing what is best for a country. For example, Japanese try to buy Japanese products just because it helps to improve the stand of living and make the country richer. And China's government limits the amount of imports of foreign made products to increase the country's wealth. China was even taxing foreign made cars with a 100% tax. All of the tens of thousands of expensive Mercedes and BMWs in China really cost the owners double the price as in America.
Also, China refuses to let most companies sell products in China if the company does not make a factory there. Microsoft was forced to hire Chinese workers just to sell Windows and Office there. Also, Motorola couldn't sell U.S. made cell phones in China. Motorola now sells Chinese made Motorola cell phones in China. Since Motorola taught China how to make cell phones, there are now Chinese cell phone makers that now compete with Motorola. (Cellphones were invented in America decades ago)

If any one knows what is wrong with my car ( 1997 Lumina ) let me know??? It idles really good at proper rpm but when I accelerate in park its like boggs out very breifly catches its rpm then boggs out again then catches back its rpm again...etc, etc, etc. I have a hunch it could be my ERG Sensor or the O2 Sensor on the catylitic converter. Please let me know if I am right on either one of these. I also dont know how much these items cost??? I hope its not these problems. The car has been sitting for a while... say about a year but it fires up with no problem. A quik click of the key and she is running, purring like a kitten with no rock arm noises. Great Engine a 3.1 Litre with about 105,000 KM. I also live in Central Ontario Canada if that helps too. (G.T.A.) Thanks.
