Its pretty stupid to call the bombing of Pearl Harbor a terrorist attack since the Japanese attacked military targets. Would you call the Israeli surprise attack on Arab air forces to start the 6 Day War a "terrorist attack"? I will never buy a Ford, GM or piece of crap Chrysler. I have owned a Honda for over 10 years and I have never had a major problem with it. The most major repair it needed was a new clutch and other repairs due to normal wear and tear. My wife drives a Nissan Altima and thats a great reliable car too. My dad owned a Ford Taurus but the AC broke and the transmission was shot after 90,000 miles. I know people who own Chrysler's and everything I heard has been negative about their relability. The only American car I might consider buying is a Saturn. If the American auto makers and UAW did not spend their time complaining about foreign competition and instead spent time figuring out how to build a relaible car than maybe I would change my mind.

Ford now uses a Mazda transmission in the Taurus. From what I understand, it has given the Taurus one of the most reliable powertrains on the road today.

Also, I might add that I've been driving a Ford Explorer since 1994. It now has almost 160,000 miles on it, and the only major problem they have is a recurring ball joint problem in the front end. It's a problem with all of those older Explorers because they're so damned heavy, but its worth the hassle because it was one of the last SUVs to be built with a truck suspension instead of the soccer-mom independent suspensions they use now.

You are a moron, the reasoning further on in your post makes no sense.
