>>>US auto makers have to rely on a large segment not caring about safety or reliability.<<<

I'm more interested in something that I find appealing. I do look for basic safety items. For example, stability control and traction control are helpful. I was looking at GM and Ford products last night to see if I could find something appealing. The ones I looked at did not offer stability control--even as an option.

GM and Ford almost always screw up a product. If they don't underpower their product in comparison to a competitor's product they will add an inefficient engine that will get 25 percent less gas mileage.

What an incredibly stupid and erroneous statement. Have you been dipping into Ratty's stash lately?
