Ok I can tell you a passionate Dodge fan. I toned my post down quite a bit because well yeah it was a little too harsh maybe and I didn't want to type a monster post to back everything up. Also you seem a little fired up and want to get to me and I wont continue it.

Everything but the last phrase was relevent though Sorry bout that

The Pontiac Aztec,UGLY!Ford electronic transmissions do have problems and I know one transmission shop that works on lots of them over GM and Chrysler transmissions.Plus they are horrible to diagnose for problems and their transaxles have lube problems burning up final drives and clutches.This transmission shop I know bangs their head against the wall when diagnosing a problem with a Ford transmission.In the E4ODs,have a piston in the valve body that sticks.You can put in them slamming them in with a hammer which move during a rebuild.In the vehicle is another story,it sticks and cause problems.There is an upgraded piston for this transmission.The transmissions in the dodge trucks are very bulletproof when rebuilt right and the transmission in the 1998 to 2004 intrepids and concordes are bullet proof also.Most yards do not get calls for the 1998 to 2004 intrepid/concorde transmission,they have problems with the speeds sensors and that is the only problem with them them.I am good with the 4l60Es,replacing the sunshells and doing one upgrade to the direct drum only.The direct drum has 5 black springs inside and there is one thing to do with them: THROW THEM AWAY!!!The restrict the clutches from floating and burn up clutches

Whats ford transmissions have to do with the Pontiac Aztec? or was that a seperate thought?

And spaces are your friend

Toyota RAV 4
it's excuse to be spacious and able to fit in 6 people in it is just wrong.
and not that comfortable to drive in.

[serge_saati]

I don't like most of japanese cars either, especially Honda CR-V and Honda Civic. I just don't like the look and the interior.

It's just funny.

The car I hate most is the Hummer H2, even though I have never owned or driven one I despise this vehicle. And not just because all the 'green' stuff either, although that does play a factor. It is monstrously big, yet has the same interior space as a midsize station wagon. It is supposed to be the 'king of off-road', but its too big and heavy for narrow woods trails or for serious rock climbing, and forget about the snow - good luck pulling that out of a snowbank. And because it weighs more than Jupiter, it sucks to drive on a paved road. So really, its not good at anything...

It's good on pothole, good confort on the road. Good for long trip on highway. At least, it's better than a Hyundai Accent 95.

In my area, there's a lot of these patholes, so it's the first factor that I consider when I buy a car.

Here's an example:

[serge_saati]

I forget to say, I hate also the Oldmobile Cutlass Supreme 88-97.
So many coolant leak, very bad interior odor, not fun to drive at all, inneficient rear leaf spring, bad quality turn signal, steering wheel too big. Old man style.

I hate anything american, waste of time and money. Over priced gas guzzling ego-boosters. I like fast cars dont get me wrong but spending 1 day a week in the garage because i drive an american car just doenst seem like my style. The only reason americans love their cars so much is because they have so much of their tax dollars trying to bail them out. I have an idea instead of giving them more money lets let the try and figure out on their own why they cant make money.... because they make an inferior product. Thats enough ranting and raving for now, untill next time.

Another person stuck in the 70's........ tis a shame

I love American cars because they don't all focus on the practical side of the brain like the oh-so-successful Toyota and Honda. True, this type of vehicle may not suit everyone's lifestyle, but I'm glad they are out there. Without vehicles like the new Challenger, Camaro, 300C, Charger, CTS, even the new Lincoln MKS and Ford Taurus SHO, these cars are bringing interesting design to a boring segment. IMO, American companies bring attractive cars to family budgets. You can get an incredible car from Germany or Italy, but it is unattainable to the average buyer, but the guy who just got a job at a new construction gig can pick up a new Camaro for $24K. And that's the way it should be - fun cars, even if they can be a headache, should be available to anyone not just the elite and wealthy.

As much as I bash these cars without refrain (Shpuker will attest to this, ha ha!) I do have a soft spot for them. They are cars that meet people's 'wants', not necessarily their 'needs'. And as far as everybody bitching about the bailout, it may be a contrived and greed-laden issue but you know what? If one of my country's major manufacturers was threatening to disappear, I'd lend a helping hand too. It was good times when such loyalty wasn't considered out of place.
