Brucelee, I too drive many of different cars. I rent from numerous companies and drive all kinds of cars and mini vans. I can say with certainty I know the difference in an American and foreign make. I was surprised lately when I rented a Kia mini van, that thing had balls to spare. The Charger I just rented in Tampa was a piece of crap. In Texas I got a Camry and that car was great on gas and very solid. Yea the four banger was light in power but Brucelee, you compared it to a V-6? Apples to apples-I'll put a V-6 Camry up against a V-6 GM product any day. Reliability will win every time.

Your point is well taken. However, to be fair, Toyota had so many issues with the 08 Camry they just released an 09 model. Apparently, they had to do major revisions to the product to get the quality up.

My point simply is, for the money, many American cars have become demonstrably better. I rented a Saturn Aura with leather etc. and thought it was a very very nice car, esp for the dough.
