Candice Bergen Prefers German

In response to: If someone gave you $40,000 to buy an automobile, would you buy one made in America?

Let’s be honest. No one is going to give me $40,000 to buy a car and, if I were going to buy one, an American Jeep used to be solid. And had cupholders, which are a feminine feature. I would try to buy American in any case even though I prefer German. But only in cars.

I prefer German, too - but not only in cars! *wide grin*

I like the convertable Mini. Sadly, I find the new Mercedes’ models none too attractive. Must have beautiful design to go with beautiful engineering!

German girls drive German cars. I drive a convertible VW. If somebody gave me $40K, I’d upgrade to BMW or save towards the Boxster, if forced to spend on a car. Otherwise, I’d pay off the Bug and buy more real estate!

Hi Candace, Well, your answer does seem like the answer of a child of privilege. And an Adult of privilege for that matter. But we should all think of buying American — not just cars, but everyday items, again. Perhaps fewer of us would be out of work!

Hi Candace— I would offer my “buy American” sentiments to others who responded to your comment, so it is not just directed to you and your economic class! It is a matter of consciousness, not class!
