Apples to apple, you pick the foreign car and I will pick an equal domestic counter. For example you say '06 Camry; I say the Pontiac G6. I'll take the G6 for comfort, cost, reliable and performance. That’s right, RELIABLE is in there. The Big Three have changed their focus to quality.

96’ 700hp Talon – I’ll take the ’96 700hp Camaro
Quality from the Big 3? [roll] Don't get me wrong, I like a lot of American cars, but they have a looooooong way to go to get to the level of the Japanese. The Germans aren't that great either. You couldn't get me into anything GM has made in the last 20 years short of a C6 Z06, and that's coming from a Fox Mustang guy.

My '86 Toyota 4Runner has 247K miles on it and the build quality is still better than most five-year-old domestic trucks. I used to be a lot tech at a dealership, so I drove a LOT of different vehicles, and for the most part the Jap cars were noticeably higher quality. I still hate Hondas, just as personal preference, but I think Toyota has just about the top-quality product on the market right now. If the Big 3 want to stay in business, they need to drop the UAW and bring up the quality BIG time.

Back on the topic of domestic muscle, here's my '86 Mustang SVO Comp Prep (option delete). One of 83 ever made.







Just a four cylinder. :mrgreen:
