GM... mostly the Geo and Saturn devisions.
I don't have a problem with Korean cars, probably because I haven't been properly introduced (i.e., driven one) yet. All I know is what my father told me a while back, the local Mazda dealer also sells Kias. He said he went to the dealer one day, and there were BLOWN Kia engines stacked like CORDWOOD out back
The warranty may be great if you don't mind replacing the engine every 10k miles:chuckles:
I do like Mitsu though. 3000GT VR4 (or a Stealth R/T) > any stock Civic/Integra.

Pontiac -- Actually, in a way this is my favorite brand. However, I hate the braindead management that ran this name into the ground, dragged it through the mud, crapped on it, and then shot it. Pontiac was supposed to be GM's performance division, but now they mostly make ugly, slow cars that break. They also cancel production on any good cars they happen to create, just as they are about to get really excellent. Fiero -- cancelled, Firebird -- Gone, TGP -- Out of there. Replaced with what? Aztek and Vibe? Jebus.
I don't have a problem with Korean cars, I see them as sort of in the position where Japanese cars were 40 years ago. No one takes them seriously. I personally would never buy one, my GSR is about my limit on the smallest car I'll drive, and they just don't offer anything with much power.
I worked at a Mopar dealership for awhile, and those cars suck. I worked with customers who had work done on their cars, and the problems these people were having shouldn't have ever been there. Very bad stuff.
I agree that the best pick-ups are built by US companies. They're powerful and they last forever. Now why they can't extend that to the rest of their line is beyond me.
