Edit: I just remembered Saab is European, but not Ford or German. They are part of GM though.

I wanted to get a MX-6 at one time. It is a ford probe. Same frame and even same parts underneath the trim.

Fortunately, it has been a very reliable car. My dad has always leaned towards GM, but not a die hard Ford hater. He broke his chain of GM trucks once and bought a almost new Ford and it instantly was a major money pit. Same happened when my sister got a Bronco II. My uncle on the other hand is a major ONLY Ford guy and has always gotten a new truck every 3 or 4 years, my aunt a new Explorer likewise, several of my cousins various used Ford cars back when they lived at home. All, even his new Explorers, trucks, seem to have big $$$ problems early and often. My wife's dad has always been a Chevy guy, not sure if he has bad Ford stories. And my two Trans Ams (79, 89) both lived past 150,000 miles with no repairs. Anyway, I know it swings both ways, I'm sure Doug or Kelli or someone could counter all that. Just my experiences. What was the topic again?

Even after I began to gravitate toward a love for European cars (Peugeot, British Leyland), I was still "redneck" enough to swear I'd NEVER own a Japanese car. Look at me now. I just hate to see Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo listed under Ford products, for no other reason than, "it just ain't right." Even more tragic is the split ownership of Rolls Royce by Porsche and VOLKSWAGON.

<I guess the GM interest in Subaru is showing. Since the Police don't want their Impalas any more I guess they'll be offering up some STI's/WRX's. This could be GOOD! Police usually dump their cars at about 100,000 miles, just about the time a Subaru is hitting it's prime! Used STI's/WRX's on State internet sites to follow:::

Rock and ROLLS...
Lets see.....the new Rolls Royce has a BMW V-12 under the bonnet.
VW/Audi owns Bentley. (the BMW/Audi-VW switch with Roll/Bentley came at the begining of this year) Ford has Aston Martin and Jag. That should leave TVR and Morgan as just about the last British cars being made, right? (are Bristol's still being made? They were when I was in England back in the late 70's....Lotus is now in Malaysia right? This is SO confusing....) Don

Larry,
WWW.ISUZU.COM Look at the ascender.... Doesn't it look like 'TRAIL BLAZER or ENVOY'. It has GM power. Clyde |
