The All American Car

We've all given our two cents on Toyota entering NASCAR cup racing and now here is the results of a CAR.COM research project. The 10 highest All American auto's are :

1.) Ford F Series
2.) Chevy Silverado
3.) TOYOTA CAMRY
4.) Ford E Series
5.) Chevy Cobalt
6.) Ford Explorer
7.) Chevy Malibu
8.) Ford Escape
9.) TOYOTA SIENNA
10 Chevy Trailblazer

Now what do you have to say about Toyota ???

If what I heard on the radio was correct .......... this was more about how much of the auto was actually built in AMERICA !!!

I cannot for the life of me understand why people get so upset that Toyota is coming to Cup. There is NOTHING on these cars that will remotely resemble anything they produce for the public, just like the other manufacturers. Yes, the engines will be built by Toyota...........but based on a Ford Cleveland engine!!!!!!!

The noses will be slightly different, but will still have to conform to Nascar specs. With the Car of Tommorow, THAT won't even be a factor. Without the factorys being real factors anymore, I root for the drivers and teams and could really care less what decal is on their hood. I was a diehard Chevy fan back in the 80s when I first got into Winston Cup. Back then, there were big differences between the different makes. Unfortunately, these aint the old days anymore. The chassis, bodys, suspension, transmissions and rear ends are all built by the same people. Like I said, you will basically be cheering for a hood emblem. Nascar has changed, it's tough, but i am trying my darndest to change with it.

Smoke, I'm curious if you would still be a Tony Stewart fan if he decided to run with the Red Bull team next year.

Re: The All American Car

For me personally it is more than just the name Toyota. Everything you've said is probably correct. Correct for you isn't necessarily OK for me or the next person. In my case I add economics, politics and less important factors into my reason to not like the fact they are invading the ranks of the great American race. Change is always difficult for some and I believe there are many here that are not dealing well with this particular change.

I've never been a Dale Jarrett hater and I won't be a hater now but I will be less of a fan when he makes the change. As you can see with Waltrips success this year he isn't that great of a driver. DEI made him successful. Toyota is now seeing exactly what they are getting.

Just as you can't understand the disgust of some, we can't understand the ease with which some accept the change. All in all I'm OK with the opposing opinion.
