    Too bad. Victory will be going from "Made In USA" to "Made In America".

    So I'm guessing you either didn't actually read the article, or you completely missed the parts that said:

    Polaris went so far as to issue a clarification after the first press release, I'm assuming because too many people were browsing headlines instead of reading details.

    So Cadillac, Chevy, Ford, Nissan, Toyota and Volkswagen are all junk?

    Yeah, I see your point actually.

    I didn't know Polaris made good vehicles.

    "Fixed"
    1) Yes.
    2) Agreed.

    As long as a vehicle is engineered in Japan, and the QA systems and inspections are held to Japanese standards, I do not care where it is actually assembled.
