all that metal seems to mitigate damage on slow crashed--other side was a Grand Cherokee.) I had so few problems with that Jeep Pickup that it would put any Japanese, Korean or European vehicle out there. My only wish was that it had a 4 gear automatic. I think that it needed 5 or 6 gears on a manual transmission.
That pickup could hold a huge load in it's realtively small box and could tow like there was no tomorrow, which is probably why it was geared the way it was.
I now have a 2003 Ford Taurus with the sports package (and the dumb spoiler which I intend to get removed). I cleaned it up, and took my former Ukrainian roommate to a Scottish Festival out I-66 in Virginia. That 208 engine allowed me to cleanly get through traffic. Ukrainian roommate only had exposure to Soviet Ladas (Fiats which were supposed to go in cold weather) and Mercedes. He was suprised at not only the comfort and appointment of my beloved Taurus, but also the handling.
My Taurus baby only has 50,000 on him because I commute by Metro, and I hope to have him for a while.
I hear that the current Taurus is a great vehicle, too.
My favorite uncle worked on the Fischer Body line in Grand Rapids and was a proud member of the UAW.
