   Anyone else more excited about Chinese models than American models these days? Big thing for me is affordability.

      No, because I'd rather not support our economic and military rivals.

         I'm Canadian so this sentiment has little value in 2026 unfortunately.

               Half of Canada now uses the word 'enemy' when asked for an adjective to describe America or China. We're equivalent in their eyes now because we elected Trump a second time and all that he has said and done in 2.0

                  It's closer to a cousin you used to be close with despite some moral failings, but who has now has a substance abuse problem and is lashing out at family and friends.

                  Not an enemy, just a danger.

                     I'm relaying a poll of Canadians, their word choice, not mine

                     "plurality" would have been accurate over "half" on my part

                        Eh, that&#x27;s pretty misleading: in that poll, Canadians weren&#x27;t asked for an adjective to describe America, they were given a list of three options “Ally&#x2F;Neutral&#x2F;Enemy”.
