I think its somewhat irrational to hate a certain make of vehicle. My father is a "FORD'S ONLY!!" kind of guy. He annoys me. I have a Ford vehicle (Mercury), a Chevy truck and the Rodeo. In the past I have owned air-cooled VW's, a 1980 Dodge Colt (Mitsubishi), a 1978 AMC Matador (an ugly car but FAST and reliable), a 1990 Plymouth Sundance, a 77 Monte Carlo and a 94 Saturn SL1. None of these cars gave me any more trouble than any of the others. In fact the Saturn now belongs to my next door neighbor and it now has 210,000 miles on it and shows no signs of crapping out. Thats a GM vehicle, btw.
