i wish i could support this decision, but trading in a Japanese car for an American car is just unjustifiable.

good luck with it

just let it be bro. its your choice of car. i love mustangs, and still do. i would have gotten one also, had it not been for the gas prices raising at the time i was gonna purchase a car. so i got the tc. not a bad choice or anything. just a little lighter on the wallet. screw what people say, do what makes you happy. make that thing a camaro killer. i know that was my goal.

I thought they were made in the u.s. seeing that the camry's are made here and they don't even sell the tC in japan. Why would they make something, they don't even sale and send it here?
