After takin' a swig o' grog, Maverick belched out this bit o' wisdom:
It doesn't take the average consumer very long to realize that they've
been conned. It takes a bit of time to go by, but M$ is already
starting to fall off in their sales. Just like in the 70s, american
auto manufacturers thought they had it made and started producing poor
quality cars, people realized that there was an alternative... japanese
autos that were put together well and very reliable. Of course GM and
Ford are still there, but suffering from poor sales because they do not
listen to the public, while Toyota is eating their lunch.
My two choices for a new (small) car were the Ford Focus and Toyota
Yaris. Wife and daughter have Focii, and they aren't bad little cars,
and Ford provides tremendous incentives ($2500-$3000).
I opted for the Toyota, although I might have gotten a little more car
for the money with Ford.
Why a cheapo car for the Linonut? It's all I need to go to work and
back.
