But other then that I totally disagree. American 'Italian' food is *junk*. Ohh and my wife *is* true Italian (born and raised) and I lived 5 years in the US (mainly in the NYC area), so I am familiar with true Italian food and that sold as Italian food in the US. But as with anything when visiting a foreign country, if you want to have the real experience you need to avoid the tourist traps. You need to go where the locals go to get the good food. |

With all due respect, I don't tend to like any product when the price remains the same or even goes up, yet the production gets shifted elsewhere. My Nikon is made in Thailand, had no choice. It's a fine camera, been in use for 3 years (dig slr). I recently saw a set of JA Henckels knives for sale at $380, but they were made in Thailand I believe. They may be just as good as German made, but at that price, I wont buy them. Has nothing to do with how hard working or not people are. There are just some expectations at various price points. When the price tag is nearly $400, I expect German made. Otherwise, I'd just buy some hack set made in China (Farberware) for $35. The latter still works, maybe heavier and less balanced. |

if BMW built their cars in china, i didnt know it would be "REPLICA" Bmws. but rather, it would be the ORIGINAL. Made by BMW. so you think if they built their cars there, BMWs would turn to crap? you are so ignorant. just because a bulk of cheap products are made in china doesnt mean everything is a pos. if the chinese didnt produce cheaper products everything would be alot more expensive

Alot of higher brands clothes or bags or even cars now adays are built/made from countrys thta have cheaper labor. I would prefer getting a Europe BMW from Europe not USA. Just my feeling. Buying a Gucci bag and the tag inside saying MADE IN CHINA doesnt look so sexy.

This thread has mentioned China an awful lot...imho they don't necessarily build inferior products. They build MRI equipment, aircraft parts, etc. Think of that next time Tom Brady complains his foot hurts.
Today I saw a set of Wusthof knives I have for........$620!! I nearly burst out laughing! I got them in 2k4 online for $299. I would never, ever, ever, pay that much for knives. And if I hadn't had bought them in 2k4 for what I did, I would be shopping for Chinese knives at a more reasonable price, maybe $50 per set. My point is I switch brands altogether, I wouldn't accept a Chinese-made Wusthof for a lower price. Get what I mean? |

A knife is fine but a 40k plus German car isn't something you can easily accept made elsewhere. I am done wit this thread.

I think its kinda sucks that the 3 series is going to be produced in America. I'm not saying that because I don't "believe" in the American workforce or whatever crap you want to argue, but I would expect that I would be paying for a German engineered car to be produced in Germany. Seriously, People will be paying for a European Import that isn't being produced in Europe? That like saying You bought a Swiss watch that is made in America. Completely ridiculous.
