I am sure that you will buy the car that works best for you, on all levels, financially, emotionally and with the practicallity you desire. To each his own, that is why there is such an abundance of choices! Have fun finding the right one!

Right on - I totally agree with you there. Sorry, I think I was just overreacting.
For me, I currently drive a '95 Acura Legend GS. I would love it if there were an equivalent American car, but there just isn't. When I got it I had about $7k to spend since I didn't want a car payment. It's one of the best cars ever made. Now it's on 170k and all I do is routine maintenance. It's not a performance beast but it has 230hp and drives awesome. Anyway, I'll keep my eyes open for an American car when I replace this thing at the end of this year or next. Whenever I have the $$
