Ford or an import

I guess when you're buying rebranded cars, you aren't buying GM.
But it was a GM car, originally designed by Opal I think. From what I understand it was designed to a price point and around the limitations of the Korean manufacturing facility.

Like I said - I bought a rebranded car and your experience was nothing at all like mine. ;)

The last GM (Holden) car we had was an '07 Astra built in Korea.
Isn't that an Opel? ie a German automaker.

Yeah 'cause Toyota know how to build a car. I must admit I do find it amusing to see them winning Nascar
We drive a Prius and a Hilux, both good cars.

My wife and I just ordered a new ford fusion. I figured a nuclear powered car for under 30,000 sounded like a good deal.
Chaining ourselves to the moral high ground does not make us good guys. Aside from making us easy targets, it merely makes us idiotic prisoners of our own self loathing.

Spring for the new hybrid or is that too liberal for you?

A German subsidiarity of GM
:laugh: Yeah but Chrysler was a subsidiary of Benz and they never stopped sucking.

I've got a 15 year old 4Runner which is basically the same chassis as the Hilux. The truck runs like the day we picked it up.

ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES!!!We would have gotten the hybrid but we needed all wheel drive and the hybrid doesn't come with AWD. But we did get the fusion because it was the most fuel efficient AWd we could find in our price range.

I currently own a 2008 Pacifica (I love it, it is my 2nd), a 1998 Saturn coupe (again, I love it, my 2nd) and a restored 1977 MGB. Now that the government and the union will own both GM and Chrysler it is a forgone conclusion (mine) that the vehicles of the future from these two organizations will be crap mobiles. I simply will not purchase one of these, but I wish them luck.
Mike - typical white guy. The USA does have universal healthcare, but you have to pay for it. D'oh. Thomas Mann - "Tolerance becomes a crime when applied to evil." The NYT - my leftist brochure. Calling an illegal alien an “undocumented immigrant” is like calling a drug dealer an “unlicensed pharmacist”. God doesn't believe in atheists, therefore they don't exist.
Just changed my Subaru.... for a Subaru :cool:

I was very happy with mine, but I was tired of the manual transmission and the turbocharged engine was a gas-guzzler (Forester). I changed for an Impreza, regular engine.
