hehehe.. and you wonder why they're so cheap.. CUZ THEY'RE BUILT IN NORTH AMERICA!! they get north american manufacturers to build some of their stuff now.. half of the japanese cars out there now are built in Canada or the US, and their quality and finish as well as reliability is starting to compare to that of the big 3's.

They should do double orders on these cars and have a spare car sitting at dealerships just in case the other one get totalled for a factoy defect, so they can give the customer an immediate replacement!
