I mean what would you rather have for a car, a camry or a taurus or impala? The camry is just the better car even though they are a little more expensive. When their 4 cylanders do just as good powerwise as some of our 6 and their engines easily last up to 200K with minimal maintanence, that is why people go with them. I personally think that most of japans and germans cars are better then what we have here. If you think those cars are ho-hum I hate to think what you think of american cars. There arne't that many good looking american cars, not that I am saying there isn't any.
