If you're going to buy Asian, at least buy Honda
Here's an interesting article about where the money goes when you buy different brands:

I thought this quote was very interesting:

I thought this quote was very interesting:
"It is, in the end, a buy Big Three pitch," concedes Jim Doyle, president of Level Field. "But it's also a buy Honda over a Hyundai message." Among foreign automakers, "Honda has got the highest number of American employees per car. If you can convince someone who's going to buy a Hyundai to buy a Honda, jobs are served."

I have a 06 Honda Civic that my wife and I just purchased a couple of months ago. She is getting 35 mpg on her 50 mile daily commute. It's a nice car with all the bells and whistles and we got it for $200 over invoice. I remember the days where dealers wouldn't sell them for a penny less than msrp. I have no issues with Honda motorcars.

Even though I started this thread, my experience with Honda (actually Acura) wasn't that good. My Integra needed more trips back to the dealer for warranty repairs than any other car I've ever owned (even all my Fords). Even after that experience, I would still consider a Honda or Acura.

My wife and I both had Accords, which were both made in America. I now drive an Infiniti I35, which was ALSO made in America. Just because it's an Asian company doesn't mean that Americans didn't build it.

Had a honda accord which gave me nothing but problems. Blown head gasket. Seal that pop out and oil leaked out of it lucky I was just backing out of the driveway. Radiator leaked. Finally found someone that bought it from me.

Yes, Honda makes good cars - I grudgingly give them that. The reasons I dislike Hondas are the "Fast and Furious" crowd (ugh), majority are front drive, they are the favorite targets of car thieves in Hawaii - because parts are expensive, and most "sport compact" Honda owners drive like they got something to prove - in other words, they drive like crap. Would rather buy a Mazda, but find myself looking at the newer Hondas, especially in light of higher gas prices...

There have been some recent "******" in Toyotas armor. That brand new Hi-perf Camry with the trannies failing and other problems is a big problem for them. Everyone thinks these guys build cars that have no problems. I'll tell you who builds cars with no problems. NOBODY!
