Pete:: I gave it considerable thought: and I do mean considerable. After 2 Fords, 3 GM's and a number of Dodges, of which I still have one, I just bought a Honda Odyssey. Reason being, I couldn't get a domestic automobile or van to stay together until it was paid for. Go look at the complaint pages. Odysseys are made in the US, and I believe I have a good automobile under me for a change. Believe me I though about it hard. I fought in one of those Asian Wars, and I have forever advocated "Buy American." but some "Americans" have got to do a better job.
