I was trying to buy an 07, but they just couldn't find one with the colors I liked, so I had to purchase an 08.  No problem, I'm happy as can be about it. My question is this. Some members of my family, and some friends will give me a hard time about buying a foreign truck instead of domestic. They will just be kidding around, but still I'd like some imformed comebacks about the facts of how domestic autos are just about as foreign these days as foreign autos. Any advice?

Oh, by the way. Mine is a crew-cab SE, in storm grey with the "steel" colored interior. Can't wait til it gets here.

Oh, great.  Yes, if you could, I'd like as much info as possible on this. Would you suggest an extended warranty on this?

The new Frontier is as much an american truck as as a Chevy or Ford is.  It was designed in California, tested in Arizona (I saw them everyday, along with the new Xterra, Pathfinder & Titan on the freeways around Phoenix, the Nissan testing grounds are located here) and built in Tennessee.  Might be built from Japanese or other foriegn parts, but Americans did design and build it.

The Frontier is much american as the Ford F series.  It was as AZTera said, built designed, and tested here in the USA.  AND JUST LIKE FORD, the parts are outsourced.

And if you want to really get them in a bunch, tell them back in the 80s Ford was more worried about designing cars for the rest of the world than their own country.  That all "their" 4 cylinder motors were actually Mazda motors.

Dodge has outsourced, look at the old 80s Colts... and the sad part is Dodge didn't even change the name for their line.  Both Dodge and Mitsibushi ran the Colt in the US.  And even today you have the Dakota and Raider.

GM... ROFL.  If they're muscle car enthusiasts.  The ENTIRE design for the Pontiac GTO came from the HOLDEN Monaro which was built first... in Australia. 

In all actuallality, there is no such thing as an "American" car anymore.  Even those built here in the US have parts that are outsourced.
