    I have owned a total of 8 Jeeps in the last 20 years. Then I bought an Audi... and now I have a Toyota..

    I'm never going back to Jeep ever again. HORRIBLE service in Colorado and they were always broken down.

    The Audi I absolutly loved -- while it was in warranty. But as soon it was out of warranty everything was 1k or more to fix and it had to be done RIGHT NOW OR EVERYONE WILL DIE A HORRIBLE PAINFUL DISEASE..

    With the Toyota everything just works. Runs great. No issues with service -- and the resale value its awesome.
    What is my joy if all hands, even the unclean, can reach into it? What is my wisdom, if even the fools can dictate to me? What is my freedom, if all creatures, even the botched and impotent, are my masters? What is my life, if I am but to bow, to agree and to obey?

    This. I made the mistake of buying an audi a few years ago. It is great until the warranty expires and then it is just stupid to repair. Needless to say I will be making the switch away from this "wonderful" german car this year. I will be looking for a Tundra or a Ram 1500 in its place.

    My thoughts pretty much. As for Hyundai/Kia, the new Optima is sick, amazing car loaded with features, and is a very nice looking sedan, for CHEAP.

    Ford HAS indeed been stepping up to compete. I'm very impressed by the latest Explorer and Fusion, they're some badass looking vehicles with all the bells & whistles.
