In the car lines, I think it is tough to beat Toyota, and it doesn't
matter where they are assembled. But I think the full-size Ford and
Chevy trucks are aces. And for $50,000, there is nothing around to equal
the Corvette.

The Corvette just barely edges out the SVT Cobra Mustang, and the Mustang
does it for 15k less money. Put that extra 15k into the Mustang and you've
got a Corvette killer. The Mustang doesn't have the presence or following
of the vette, however.

Last vette I drove was a 2001, and while it was impressive in the go fast
and handling departments, the interior sucked. I put my arm on the arm
rest, and it was hot! It was the incandescent light bulbs used to
back-light the power window and door lock switches. The dash controls and
switches and plastic were cheap as well. They are definitely putting the
money in the engine and suspension and using what's leftover in the
interior.

Toyota's are mind-numbing boring... but reliable.
