How old is your car?

Comparing the Ford Focus and the Toyota Corolla, I like the two door, Ford Focus coupe w/5-speed. Better quality paint, sportier looking dashboard, good overall handling and gas mileage.

Hey, I drive a nine year old Ford Contour-5 speed-4 cyl and it drives ok.

Detroit has a big hospital named Ford Hospital. The United States has the Ford Foundation. Japan has Toyota Hospital.

So when you buy a car, where does the money go?

People used to say 'Remember Pearl Harbor,' and never consider even a Japanese toaster, much less a car. And now they say.....T-o-y-o-t-a.....oh....waht a feeling!

I understand there is no market for Japanese cars in China. China will not buy Japanese, period! The Chinese like Chevrolet or a very expensive Buick.
