    Naturally you are entitled to you personal opinion. Daewoo cars does not
    exist, at least in the US. The cars made in the former Daewoo assemble
    plants in Korea, that are sold by GM in the US are Suzuki models. The
    Korean brands sold in the US are Hyundai and KIA. Hyundai cars outrank
    similar Toyota and Honda models in survey done in the US.

    Hyundai dealers recently allowed customers to ran a comparison test drive,
    between their car, a Civic, Corolla and a Focus. All were equipped the
    same. The price difference among the four cars from the Corolla down to the
    Hyundai was $5,100. The Corolla was the most expensive followed by the
    Civic, Focus, Sonata.

    I personnly do not drive small cars and I no longer buy import brands but
    the question for one who does should be, is a Corolla worth 30% more to me
    than a Sonata? Particurally when the Hyundai has a 100K warranty and the
    price differance will buy ALL of the fuel for a Sonata for the three to four
    year the average American new car buy keeps their car before buying another
    new car.

    Courier fleets use hundreds of those as well as Neon's, Corollas, Focus, VW,
    Civics and others. Courier cars are generally run around the clock and
    easily accumulate 100K or more a year. They remain is service from three to
    five years.

    You are entitle to you own opinion but your statements are not factual. I
    have always said Toyota make great cars. I have also said, from what I've
    seen in my many years in the business, every other manufacturer today is
    making great cars as well. If pointing out that Toyota have problem on
    occasion make me a troll in you mind them I'm a troll but the fact is EVERY
    manufacturer makes some that are not up to snuff on occasion, the average
    for all manufactures including Toyota and Honda is around 2%, that is why
    they all offer a warranty, even Rolls Royce. You in the Toyota and Honda
    NGs, who cross post to domestic brands NGs to denigrate their vehicles, and
    praise those you buy, are the real trolls.

    Our records over the years show the only real difference is style and price.
    I never suggest to anybody that the buy a particular brand, domestic or
    foreign, but rather that they drive ALL those that suit their needs, get a
    total drive home price for each and buy the ONE that suits their budget.

    I do not own a GM vehicle and I personally no longer buy Toyotas or Lexus
    because my purchasing experiences proved to me after around a dozen of their
    vehicles, that Toyota and it dealers over price their vehicles and their
    service and many of their models are
    not only overpriced but underpowered compared to others in the market
    place. If others choose Toyota, that their choice, I could not care less.

    Are you kidding, of course a Corolla is worth 30% more than a Sonata.
    You're comparing perfection with crap.

    And when you look in the mirror the anal sphincter you see says what to
    you?

    That's true, maybe even put some GM dealerships next to a K-Mart or
    Target too.

    The question does apply to you, hence the reason I hit the "Reply to Sender"

  13. You actually hit "Reply to Group" but if you did reply to
    , then I think we know who has less IQ (sic).

    This must be an inside job. Watch the Toyota and Honda car sales
    increase even more.

    Hmmm, I dunno. It's such a brass balls move, it may impress someone into
    going with the GM.
