[QUOTE="Dan Chatten, post: 826658, member: 55225"] If the american auto industry would have evolved with the times, like Honda, Toyota, and others, then there is no doubt in my mind that they would be on top. The got FAT and HAPPY. Additionally, the quality of an "American" made car was suspect from the day you picked it up. And, the only piece of mind you got was when you added another x$'s to your payment with an ESP. I have never owned an american car where there were 1 or 2 major issues in the first 50K - tranny, head-gasket, on and on. Why don't I feel that way with my Honda, Toyota or Volvo ? Maybe because I don't have to. My volvo went close to 300k miles with NO major issues. My daughters Accord, 180K, no issues. Our last vehicle purchase was a Honda Pilot, and our goal/savings is to buy another new car in 2010 to replace the ST (keeping it as a 3rd), and I am already thinking Honda or Toyota. Well, the way things are going they may be the only choice anyhow :( [/QUOTE]
