i think most of those do not come with the Auto Stick type thing Corvette is talking about.
For the most part. Over seas cars come with more options and higher end stuff stock them American cars do.
I hate to say it.. if i cant find a SSEi i like. i might get a 07 GTi

We bought our first non-GM vehicle last year. 2004 Honda Civic. The build quality and fit and finish is leaps and bounds better than all the Cavaliers we have owned (3). And, as a matter of fact, when we're done with the Bonneville, we'll likely buy another Honda. Just as CC, the value of an import is more substantial. And, they don't depreciate like a rock.
I'm more loyal to my pocket book than to GM, Ford, and Chrysler.

When we're complaining on this forum that 2000+ Bonnevilles aren't the most reliable (relatively) and Toyota is now on top, you know they're doing something right... For us to not prefer Toyota is one thing (I find they're boring as heck and wouldn't buy one as a result of that), but to say they're unreliable... c'mon guys, take a look at ourselves.

I did read that the problem with the sludge has been fixed, and I only expected them to by now. Toyotas are definitely reliable, my point was just that they have problems just as American cars do.

You will never catch me in an Asian import, and if I was dead while being in one, my corpse will come alive and make a desparate attempt to crawl outta there.
