The American car companies really screwed themselves over in the '70s and '80s by building poor-quality cars that turned off many people to American cars.

My worst car in terms of being a money sink was a Subaru. I would be willing to give Subaru another chance, but my wife would not. Thus no Subarus in our future. There are some nice Subarus out there, but none that I'd be especially crazy over.

Yep. Did you know the Mustang II was based on the Pinto? Dunno if the Mustang II shared the Pinto's tendency to blow up, though.
Dudes! I only have ten votes!

I think that the British military is also searching.
There are a number of Brits onboard that plane.
And children. More than 10. And a baby.
Only American sedan I ever had (Oldsmobile Ninety-eight, inherited from the MiL), had a disturbing tendency to stop-- not stall, not sputter, just stop with no warning, causing all its systems to fail. There was no rhyme or reason to the stoppage, it just was. And of course, it never did it when I took it to the dealer.
It was after it pulled this routine on I-65 in Nashville in rush hour traffic that I said, enough! Got a Jeep Grand Cherokee that I absolutely ADORED and would have driven into the ground if not for the appearance of Abby a scant fifteen months after Nate. Car was big enough for the four of us, but couldn't squeeze another person in, a problem when any family came to visit.
I gave you a vote too.
Science is awesome. I especially love Physics because the way the Universe works is so freaking weird.
