Although they have improved, no American car can say that & those who claim differently just arn't speaking from experience.
and how much of a discount did those american cars get up front? it's not really depreciation when you never paid it to begin with.Originally posted by: JulesMaximus

Don't worry. The 2008 Chevy Malibu is coming to the rescue.
Toyota called, they want the front end of the new Toyota Camry back.

I only paid $22,400 for my '03 Maxima SE w/auto transmission and power moonroof brand new...it had 6 miles on it when I bought it almost 4 years ago.
I've driven a new Malibu. It doesn't even compare quite honestly.

Actually the Passat is another car they've ruined the looks of. The new ones are much less attractive than the prior (very handsome) car, and they've gotten very expensive as well.
