When you feel like being honest, I'll let you know where your car was
built and where the parts came from.


It's really hard to tell now-a-days with all the mergers, engineering
agreements and partnerships, but the result is that many of the newer
offerings by "US" manufacturers are actually very much improved and refined
cars. Even some of the Chrysler models benefited from the brief association
with Mercedes.

I agree with your previous statements about BMW. The competition is
getting better, but for a while the difference in performance, handling, and
quality of a BMW overshadowed most of the other offerings in the same
approximate price range. I had several and enjoyed every one of them.

Some find it hard to understand, maybe because they don't share the same
level of interest, but I buy cars because I like them and not because they
conform to what somebody else says I should drive or how much I should
spend.

It's also the reason I am not a Democrat. :-)
