Were you going to get back to us on that American car with 265 hp 4 cyl?
Two things, first, I was out of town until just now and I wasn't speaking to only American cars, but cars in General. You simply assumed it was an American car. The orignal poster was griping about plastics and on board new fangled computers mucking up the works. My point was that now we have cars that go longer, go faster, have less emmissions and get better gas mileage, all due to the things he's ranting about in his original post.
I guess he was right in a way. Had Detroit stuck to the utter crap 75k mile throwaway cars that blew fan belts, alternators, cap and rotor, plugs, wires, fuel pumps, batteries, radiators and brakes continuously while getting 8mpg and belching fumes like the tires were on fire we wouldn't be having this thread. They'd have long gone the way of the dodo.
For the record, I own a WRX.
