BuffaloBill.......Yes, it is a global economy, but would you have purchased the Lexus if it were built in China? Would you own the McIntosh if it were made in Korea? It might be a global economy, but individual preferences still control purchasing decisions. Would a Rolex made in China carry the same aura as one made in Switzerland?
