I'm gonna be completely honest, I wouldn't buy a new american car. I would buy a Subaru given the option of buying any reasonably priced car I want. American cars just cost too much, use too much gas, aren't as safe, and they don't hold up as well as imports. It sucks, but it's the truth I see. Subaru, Honda, and Nissan are all people I would buy a car from, whereas Ford, GM, and Chrysler are not.
