Im just wondering why this hasnt effected "Real Americans" from buying these products.

there is nothing we can do anymore. our economy is headed down a one way street down the toilet. the completely incompetent bush administration had the brilliant idea today to loosen up the boarders. WTF?????? as if there aren't enough jobs out there we need more people (*cough* willing to accept lower wages *cough*) that are gonna take our jobs. GM needs to ditch the union workers and hire normal salary payed workers. thats what saturn did and thats why they sell their cars at the prices they do. and with new technologies reducing the friction of distance, outsourcing has become a MUCH cheaper alternative to statewide work.
Al or Koll can back me up on this one, but there is a chinese automaker coming over to ther USA making mid-size sedans starting at 10k. thats almost half the price of a kia or a hyundai. now any idiot can tell you that the average american doesnt give a **** and will save the money by buying a 10k car.
ok now to wrap up, you ask which company would benefit the country most? the car would have to be american made by an american company so that the labor is payed to american working class citizens and the profit goes to american executives.
ps- notice how i said citizens in my last paragraph
