Re: an observation about chrysler

I wrote off domestic cars 9 years ago when I bought my Toyota. I bought a new 1993 Chevy Cavalier which started having mechanical problems at about 50,000 miles and almost made it to 128,000 miles before the engine went kaput, then I bought a new 1997 Pontiac Sunfire which got a lousy 60,000 miles before I started having engine trouble and I traded it at 98,000 miles for a 2000 Toyota Celica which has had zero mechanical issues since the day I drove it off the showroom floor. All I've had to replace are tires, wiper blades and headlights. Heck, even the brakes were still in pretty good shape after 150,000 miles! After 9 years and 211,000 miles, the paint may be peeling but I'd take it over an overpriced domestic any day. Oh yeah, I still get 33+mpg highway.

I understand what you're saying, I burned thru two Ford Rangers before switching to a Nissan P/U. But comparing a '93 Cavalier and a '97 Sunfire to an 2000 Camry just ain't fair!

I'd never buy a Chysler again, and I've yet to see anything to convince me to switch from Toyota.

I agree they look good.....but after my bad experience with Chrysler about 12 years ago, the economy could be good or bad and it won't matter to me. Chrysler could dress up a new model like a Ferrari and sell it for $10,000 and I'm still not going to buy it.
