[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. Mike<BR><BR><B><I>Dean Pappas
