American Cars
-
My wife and I were strictly foreign car buyers, with her driving only Subaru and me with Nissan and Toyota. About 18 months ago we decided to give our American car manufacturers another chance. I purchased a Chevrolet Malibu. A couple months later she purchased a new Ford Fusion. I must say we have been pleasantly surprised. Both of cars drive really nicely and neither one has had a single issue. My wife, really likes the look of her Fusion with the spoiler. And she loves the moon roof (she got the moon and tune package). I bought the Malibu mostly because of the cool LED lights in the cabin that make interior look neat at night. Anyway, both cars have been great to own and we're both very satisfied despite our initial reservations about buy American cars. I have no idea why I'm sharing this on code project.

This isn't a new government program that allows you to avoid being audited if you're willing to talk up American cars is it? :~ :laugh:

Ahhh! We can help you with that. We'd start with a free assessment of your mental capabilities. Free!
Personally, I love the idea that Raymond spends his nights posting bad regexs to mailing lists under the pseudonym of Jane Smith. He'd be like a super hero, only more nerdy and less useful. [Trevel]

My wife and I had a string of Hondas which were hearty and reliable. But, we've always wanted a PT Cruiser (what can I say, it looks neat *grin*). After our last Honda started having electrical problems (at 250,000 miles something was bound to go, heh), we found a 2001 PT Cruiser a couple years ago. Unfortunately, we were in an accident less than a month after buying the car and it was totaled. But, we were able to get a 2004 PT Cruiser GT with Turbo and a killer stereo system a couple of months later. That car has served us well, and we've only put about 21,000 on it since we picked it up, so it should be with us quite a bit longer. :) Flynn

Of all the American cars I drove, I always loved Fords best. I couldn't tell you why as a kid, maybe because of my mom's Taurus (before that she had a Chevy Caprice, the old box shaped ones) , maybe because of my dad's Mustang or maybe because of the sound of the name. To this day, I like Fords the most (of all American cars) and then its a particular car here or there, but now I'm aware of such measly details like MPG, spare parts availability (an important factor in the Middle East) and potential re-sale value.

The only American car I was impressed with was a Pontiac Grand Prix. Big Engine, but not much top speed, but it did have all the toys. I couldn't afford to run it here in UK where petrol is about $8/gallon.

Agreed. We had a Grand Prix GTP. Best car we've ever owned. The gas prices started to rise here and we traded for a Pontiac Vibe. Talk about a downgrade:( The biggest thing I miss about that car is that it had leather and heated seats. Not looking forward to January anymore...

When exactly did a "sun roof" become a "moon roof"? Honestly, what's the point of that kind of name change? "Sun roof" just rolls off the tongue so nicely...

Hey Mustafa, this is getting ridiculous... I grew up in a Ford family and have always preferred Fords. Although since Ford wasn't too common in Israel when we moved here ('85), we ended up buying a Peugeot. Since then we've had a series of Peugeots or Citroens (same company). If I was in the States though, I'd probably buy a Ford.

Precisely the reason they changed it. Much more difficult to get your psychopathic citizen living atop a hill with a larger than usual lightning rod attached to his residence going "sun roof, SUN ROOF, SUNNN ROOOOOOF, HA! HAHAHA! HAHAHAHAHAH! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" if it was called moon roof. All the girls would go "like, what did you say? like, what's a sun roof? like dude, chill out, like your so like my friend Mandy like when its her time! Yee-eah!"

Holy bits and bites! Where've you been man? I sent you an email a while back but it bounced back. How're things?

Picked up my sister and her friend Jaynee (honestly, who calls their daughter that?) from the airport coming back from San Francisco. This is Jaynee's first time out of California. It gets annoying as hell talking to her after saying "hello". I feel sorry for my mom and dad because she's staying with them for the next 2 weeks :doh:

I believe that Pontiac had a "sun and fun" package that was similar on their cars. Might have been Chrysler. I can't remember because we shopped too many dealers when we were looking for our current cars:)
