I'd still rather she went with a Toyota.


Toyota has gone almost full circle. They are currently in the recovery
phase of poor quality, numerous recalls and the decline of their good
reputation. Just like the American automobile industry did.

Could be in part that Toyota is as American as many "American" cars
these days, many are built here now. That said I've been impressed with
the fit & finish of the ones I've dealt with. Only real nag was the V6
offered in the mid 90s that liked to blow head gaskets, the 4 was damn
near indestructible if a bit underpowered. Friend of mine is on his 3rd
set of head gaskets and looking into swapping in the redesigned later V6.
