"We hear it about once a week, so let's set the record straight: Our staff members are as patriotic as anyone. We fully understand the desire to support our domestic auto manufacturers—General Motors, Ford, and the Chrysler division of DaimlerChrysler—and to keep jobs and wages in the U.S. "
CU will definitely get a lot of flack on this. People have such a mental hurdle comprehending the empirical method of analyzing cars. It's so much easier to just shoot the messenger.
I like your quote...Bowling Green is part of the US, ain't it? (Even if the name is a little...Canadian?)
Then those people hated Tim Horton's before and thus...are anti-Canadian. They should be herded like cattle and shipped to some backwoods country on the next boat.
Only for the Essex County or Windsor in Ontario, Tim Horton will find a way to exchange the RAV4 should the winner request another vehicle of the same value. The local union, once again disregarding the fact Toyota is investing billions of dollars in Ontario and will be building the RAV4 in that very same province, put pressure on Tim Horton to change the contest. GM, Ford and Toyota all bid for the Roll Up the Rim contest and Toyota was the most competitive bidder.
As a local editorialist points out, it is very ironic you can never see a sole in the local unionized Zellers that was Canadian owned until recently while the region is massively buying from Wal-Mart

Oh this pisses me off....
I remember hearing something similar about LEXUS in 1992......
The thing people loved about the car..................... RELIABILITY
The thing people hated about the car.................... Country of make... (Japanese)...
I was kind of young at that time and I could not understand the concept of hating a vehicle because of its country of make... Did not know the so very finely educated union workers at that time.
How does the Ridgeline win for the truck catergory?
Simple...it's Japanese. Even though the Ridgeline sales are flopping and dealers are having to put incentives on the hood and scale back production because few want to buy them, it's still apparently the BEST truck money can buy...even though it's overpriced and can't do any actual truck work without the struts going out on semi-bumpy gravel roads.

cause there's no new american truck? i dunno.
Isn't the top 10 supposed to be picking the BEST offering available, not just the newest? That's Motor Trend and Car & Driver you're thinking of.
If the overpriced Ridgeline is the best truck offering that CR can come up with for the money vs. capability and features, then I have little faith in the credibility of the publication.
