I mean, if you are going to use your small piece of America as an indicator of what the rest of American is doing then it would make sense for YOU to see more F-150s and Chevy Silverados than anything else... Whatever.<br><br><br><br>Just import fanboys that can't stand to see an American nameplate getting cudos when everyone is supposed to know that only the Japanese nameplates can offer a hybrid, much less an award winning one.  "People might think that Ford and possibly GM are not as inept as we've been trying to tell everyone, we have to stop this."<br><br><br><br>Don't worry though fanboys, there are a ton (mostly?) of Japanese parts in it because Japan took over the battery industry years ago (like most consumer electronics related things) and so you can feel better now about accepting this vehicle. <br><br> <br><br>  <br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Lithous]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 6th 2006 9:57AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Mercury Mariner Hybrid wins first Green Car of the Year]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2006/01/05/mercury-mariner-hybrid-wins-first-green-car-of-the-year/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2006/01/05/mercury-mariner-hybrid-wins-first-green-car-of-the-year/</guid><description><![CDATA[Here is my comment:  Each time I look for a vehicle and start considering foreign made, my stomach churns with the thought of it.  I have a very strong agenda when it comes to products; in my opinion, before patronizing anything else, if we are producing the same here in our country then it is only sensible to consider what is family above all else.  This way we can always keep our economy and our jobs in the country and not be dependent upon outsourced products.  I truly believe what I just said -- I haven't had a one iota of foreign source product unless there is no other way.  I would prefer U. S. made products first -- is what I am trying to impart.  Thank you.<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[G. S.

I am a 28 year old surgeon in Pennsylvania and am very fond of the Mercury vehicle line-up.  I have been for years.  In fact though I can afford many high end vehicle brands, in my garage parked along side my '04 Lexus LX470 and '99 Volvo XC(cross country) I have my original '96 Mercury Mountaineer and a new '06 Mountaineer.  Of my vehicles, my Mountaineers are still my most often choice to drive on a regular basis.  I may even acquire a new Montego in the near future.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dr. S.
