+ 6series and z4

a lot of the cars previously mentioned are economical. this list should be comprised of cars that buyers actually spent good money on.

I would not go for ANYTHING DOMESTIC! (ok maybe lets take out an ESCALADE and a CORVETTE out of that )

But if i had to choose 3 imported than:

1. Any Hyndai

2. Any Suzuki

3. Any Kia

Sorry maybe i should thank GOD what it has given me but even if Godforbid i could not afford a nice car than even then instead of buying a BRAND NEW Kia, Hyndai and Suzuki, i would rather buy a used Acura or a Toyota.

One question....Is Daewoo even in business any more? Did they get absorbed by Kia or Hyundai? I need to know this.

The Endeavor, on the outside, DOES borrow a lot from the previous-generation Grand Cherokee (except for the Mitsubishi split grille). Inside, however, is a very different story. The entire center of the dash is silver-colored plastic and buttons painted and styled to look like a three-sided boom box from Circuit City.
Here's an illustration:

In the Korean market....yes, they still are in buisness. In the American market, yes and no. They pulled out of the American market under their own nameplate a few years ago, but today sell several of their products in the U.S. under different names....the Chevrolet Aveo and the Suzuki Forenza, Reno, and Verona. They have close ties, obviously, to both GM and Suzuki.....GM owns a share of both.
Rumor, by the way, has it they will design the next Suzuki Vitara...I cannot verify that.

Anything by Korean factories. I don't care if Marshall argues dependable design, they are plastic and ugly.

Then anything GEO.

Then anything Pontiac.

Thanks for the interior images mmarshall
That exterior is still waaay too much Jeep.

And TLW put up the chevette. We had a chevette in white, our very first family car. I don't think my dad ever changed the oil in that car and it ran and ran and ran. No need b/c it kept dripping oil and was getting new supplies ... but dang, no power steering back in those days
