12v cummins, now that's a truck!

This is always a touchy subject.

ChampN, I dont know why you say the US cars have been looking cheaper, the truth is, the recession actually forced GM and Ford to make better looking, and higher quality cars to keep sales up.

They lived up to it, and the most reliable car, and most popular cars for many years in the 2000's have been Malibus, now the Fusion, Ford trucks as the most reliable, and best quality truck of all time.

My neighbor LOVES imports, yet he has a Acura TL a 05 with a third tranny rebuild, about 25k on each tranny, among other recalls, a Toyota tundra a 06' with recalls, and a few other issues. The tundra is nice for the most part.

My step daughter has a 2000 VW Passat, and she has literally had the car a year and a half, and on average, about every 2 - 3 months, she needs to drop another $400 in maintenance. Last service was a rebuilt tranny for $2300

My Yukon/Denali ( I just got back)I drive that thing hard like a corvette, I cant break it. My only complaint is new tires, and rear shocks

My gf's Dodge Intrepid ES- Fast, drives excellent, interior is garbage, only the door panels, the rest is good. Had to change the speed sensors in the tranny when I down shifted accelerating from 4th to second, basically went from 2000rpm to 5000+rpm, and the sensors didn't like it

The brakes need replacing once a year- my only frustration with this car besides needing a paint job

I really want a Fusion, or the new ford edge SUV, that is pure sexinesss

I really want both cars

edit:

hey Skittles, I worked at NUMMI in 97' I think, that place was soooo massive

long walk from the time clock to my work area, since I was a temp, I couldnt ride the carts to go to a from my job site

This is a repost, but these are american cars, Cadi CTS, CTSV Escalades

I only buy american. When somebody tells me that there civic will outlast my camaro I tell your ABSOLUTELY right. I'm going to be abusing the hell out of it. I will burn out at every opportunity, swing it when im bored, and race on the daily. Your civic will never be driven as hard as my car. I hate working on toyotas because they are a pain to work with. For example, Tundras have their starter under the intake manifold. To do a tuneup on a v6 camry i need to remove the intake manifold as well. Toyota charges 4 hours for a tune up. Starter replacement quoted at $1200 on the tundra. The tundra is driven by my mom to work and back only and has less tha 90k and already has MAJOR issues. Americans do make great cars still. If you want power you buy american. If you want a 4 cylinder buy nissan. Honda has shitty trannys. My buddy just finished installing his 3rd clutch and replaced the tranny at 60k. You should really look at the new Fords. Im a chevy guy but they are really impressive. As for German cars they are thee worst cars i have EVER worked on. They might have alot of luxury features but even when babied they always have problems. Most of the people who drive these cars take really good care of them because they have $$$. The thing is that for all the effort put in and they still have problems with cracked heads/blocks after overheating only once for less than 5mins at only 125k-150k it's just embarrassing.

That is not a truck. That is a fast and street legal tank.

Bought a Fusion last December or January? I don't remember been almost a year having it though. I won't get vehicle unless it's American made

[ChampN252]

I'm liking the newer model Fords. The Taurus is a slick looking car and I would lose my mind with the SHO version. And I'll agree that Ford makes the best pick-ups money can buy, it's just everything else I'm worried about.

[gbsx]

I won't buy an American vehicle other then maybe a tahoe or van strictly for bass purposes.

I have a 1986 325 BMW with 486,000 miles on it. We have done the suspension once, the brakes obviously, the tires a few times, one new windshield otherwise it still burns the tires without a problem and is a great car. I drive it everyday. Probably 1,200 miles a month easily. No problems. German cars ftw!

I feel you bro, My Ford is pushing 32 years.

Anything will last, It depends on the owner, Occasionally you might get a lemon, But most manufactures will replace it with a whole new vehicle.

But i only drive Fords. That is just the way i grew up.
