True, why pay more for the same quality? I've decided that if I ever buy 
another car it most likely won't be an American made one. I'm going to 
bye a Toyota or a Honda or whoever else is at least trying to come up 
with a motor that doesn't keep us tied to OPEC forever. Or maybe I'll 
just stick with the bus and trolley, I can go nearly everywhere in the 
county on vehicles powered by natural gas (buses) or electricity 
(trolley) for $15.00 a month, who needs a car?  :)
