:P I don`t trust Nissan though. We had a car from them and it`s engine failed in the weirdest way. (Pistons detached and flew out of their little spots!)
Toyota though - I don`t think we`ll ever buy a different brand.
Remember, people may think gas in the US is expensive, but in Japan we`re paying $1.20/liter (as of yesterday when I filled the tank) - That`s like $5 a gallon. And the prices are sort of low right now.
There is no way someone could convince me to drive a car that consumes gas like there is no tomorrow, that starts rusting in less than a year (FORD!!!), and that`s engine is expected to fatally fail in some area within 3 years (ie. Every US car my family has ever owned.)
Plus, I prefer the engine to be quiet while I`m driving. I like the inside of the car to be... peaceful.

To each his own, but I`ll never drive a US car again.
