For something that will last basically as long as the vehicle, it was a no-brainer for me.
Imagine if we had all thought about this 40 years ago?? "Hey, the American made pack of T-shirts is $25 compared to $13.99 foreign made. But they are of better quality, and keep a fellow American employed...."
I agree Paul but how do you feel about foreign cars made here by U.S. workers and foreign made cars with traditional domestic name plates?
No right or wrong answer, just curious?

Global partnerships are inevitable for larger ticket items. Actually beneficial in some ways.
It's the little things (T-shirts like I mentioned), or just about anything in your house you can pick up, flip over, and see the "Made in China" that burns me.

It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

Question for you guys who live in a blizzard..
Since you all brought up floor liners (Weather Tech) i have a question if any of you are familiar with Husky brand liners.
I didn’t do WT because the got bad reviews for the Camaros’s for fit. Didn’t go all the way back and something about covering dead pedal.
Husky had two lines X act fit and Weather beaters. The X act fit were more and also heavier but couldn’t find any more differences. Any of y’all know?
Edit: found a video. The X act are more pliable and rubber like. Weather beaters are stiffer. Doesn’t lay as well.

Re: Question for you guys who live in a blizzard..
Although I've never bought the Husky liners a couple of buddies have bought them because they're cheaper and are happy with them. I believe they too are a U.S. company as well.
The reason the dead pedal is covered with WeatherTech floorliners is simple, if they cut out around them it would allow "crap" to get up under them and make a mess, so in this case its function over form

Doppler Mazda showed its temp at the gas station that morning. It was a little below 1/2 and I filled it up and getting back into the car my pants were frozen and it stung my legs. The defroster in my work van couldn't keep up at a light, crazy days!

That’s crazy. The coldest it’s ever gotten here in LA [as far as I’ve ever seen] was 24yrs. ago I still remember exactly where I was... Getting up to be at work at 3am. I got in my Cadillac Eldorado and it said the outside temp. was 38 degrees. It never displayed that cold except that 1 day.

Re: Question for you guys who live in a blizzard..
Biggest complaint on camaro forums was they only covered half of the pedal where the husky covered all. That plus them going all the way back were biggest complaint.
Guess stuff in bottom of foot would get under the WT. i don’t really use dead pedal but like that it went under the seat
Had weather-tech before and they were great.
The husky weather beaters were the same price as WT. The X act fits were ALOT more for a set ($60).
I just ordered the fronts because it seams the rears are reason for price jump. I don’t usually have people in reat (the don’t fit) but if i do need rears i’ll order WT as they are almost half price.

Re: Question for you guys who live in a blizzard..
In the past year I’ve bought WT liners that go up the sides for an Acura TL, Toyota Sienna, and Toyota Prius and they’ve all fit perfectly front and back. I use them year around and I’m much happier with how the vehicles look. In my previous TL I used the Acura carpet mats and even though they felt well made, they would stain and also wear out, especially under my right heel in front of the gas pedal.
