"Every Taurus model change was executed to make them cheaper to build, not better."

And therein lies the problem with most American automobiles. I bought a Toyota Camry that went 200,000 miles without a major problem and some high school kid is driving it now. Five years later I wanted to buy American so I got a Dodge Caravan. We had to rebuild the transmission (a common problme with Caravans) at 75,000 miles and the engine is starting to go at 100,000. I want to buy American but not at that kind of cost.

I now have my second Camry and the van will probably be replaced with a Subaru.
