Firstly, I didn't insult anyone (or I didn't mean to if I did). So try looking at different perspectives. 5.75 billion people live outside the US, including many on TSN.
Secondly, my comment was specific to our beloved marque. Specifically, there is something wrong with a country where Hummer sells as well as Saab. Don't you think Saab's should outsell Hummers 10 to 1 ? I do. Everything Saab stands (or stood) for is the antithesis of Hummer.
Thirdly, I did leave. My wife and I (born in Rochester MN and Elkins WVa respectively) moved to Canada. More for job and education reasons, but more and more we have philosophical differences with the US (that includes our families !) Makes for interesting Dinner conversation. Not in a mean way, just different. It's hard to explain but you know it when you live outside the US and look back with a global perspective. I'm sure reams of books and newsprint pro and con have addressed these issues and that's not what this board is about.
end of rant ;-)
