I didn't realize that. The Fusion is made in Mexico while the Monte Carlo and Charger are made in Canada.Cobra-R said:Toyota Camry is the only car represented in NASCAR that is actually made in the US?
I wasn't. I was hoping Mark's car would throw a rod and let Matt and Gilliland go for the win. Of course, Matt was wrecked and Happy Harvick went to the front from nowhere.Mike H said:I was conflicted also. I've been a long time Martin fan.
I don't know, Bruce. Toyota did open up that big truck factory in Texas. I doubt the good old boys in Alabama would much care. There has never been an American vehicle manufacturer in AL (they do make a Benz there).ac427cobra said:Won't it be interesting when those Toyota haulers roll into Talladega and Texas for the "Good 'Ol Boys"
Welcome to Tuscaloosa County Alabama, U.S.A, and the factory where the 2nd generation M-Class and the newest members of our Mercedes-Benz line, the R-Class and the GL-Class are manufactured.
Uh oh, does this mean you'll soon be driving a Special Edition Dale Jr. Monte Carlo? How 'bout one of them new Silverado's?I think this was the first time EVAR that I cheered for a Chevy to win.

In the end does it really matter. I watched half the race and was having a REALLY tough time telling what the make of any car was on the track. I really don't see the value in supporting that type of racing from a manufacturers position anymore. I wonder how much Pontiacs sales were hurt when they pulled out of NASCAR?

Brand equity is the value built-up in a brand. It is measured based on how much a customer is aware of the brand. The value of a company's brand equity can be calculated by comparing the expected future revenue from the branded product with the expected future revenue from an equivalent non-branded product. This calculation is at best an approximation. This value can comprise both tangible, functional attributes and intangible, emotional attributes.
