Also; The only car that I would honestly say is better than any other is Honda. Toyota is crap... sorry but it is. They were great cars in the 90's, but they are now crap. KIA is a Korean piece of crap. You're not an american if you buy a car built by a korea where the Name of the vehicle is also an acronym for Killed In Action. Lexus what Toyota used to be; nice cars. But they are way overpriced for what you get. You want a nice car and $$ is of no meaning to you? Buy a Honda.
As for American made cars. Alot of it is crap. But it's all the same.
Example: Saturn made the VUE after it was successful it was then turned into the Chevy Equinox and the Pontiac Torrent 2 years later. They're identical cars. Same engine, same transmission; same suspension; hell even the same interior.
Chevy Impala; made in Kansas City. The exact same assembly line as the Saturn Aura, in fact they come off the assembly line in the order of Chevy then Saturn, then Chevy then Saturn, etc. etc. Same damn car, except The Aura is winning awards and the Chevy is not? Odd....
The New Large SUV that GM is making? Pontiac, Chevy, and Saturn all have that platform, same engines.
But the Large SUV and the IMPALA and the Aura's are the only good cars that GM is putting out right now.
Cobalt? crap. Saturn ION? It's the same car as the Cobalt... what do you think... crap. Vue's and whatever Chevy and Pontiac replaces their midsize SUV with next year? Looks like it's going to be crap. Minivan's that Chevy, Buick, Pontiac, and Saturn made for 2 years before they were discontinued? crap.
Ford does the same damn thing; everyone does. I'd go on, but you get the idea. hell I doubt any of you are reading this any more.
And by the way, I've seen just as many Honda's, which I believe is the best car on the road, not make it past 100k as I have GM's and Fords. Everyday I see GM vehicles over 200,000 miles. Hell, I saw a 91 Saturn SL1 with over 300,000 miles on it last month. All original drivetrain. Nothing but a few minor fixes and regular maintanence. Know how the guy did it? He took care of his car.
