[NSRCA-discussion] Toyota<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV id=RTEContent> I'm with you Dean. I prefer Fords. I have had
better luck with my US cars than my 91 Toyota Previa, and 2 Honda's. I
now have a 2003 Windstar that I love and a 97 Taurus that has been
extremly reliable. One other factor is pricing with all the incentives
I bought a pretty well equiped Windstar for $21,500 in 2003. That is
money that equates to a real savings over the Honda or the Toyota
which sell at a premium price. I for one can't justify the price
difference. I hope people keep hating American cars so I can continue
to get them cheap. Thanks to all who are helping me out.
