Ack!  I'd never even consider a Ford or Chrysler product.  I had to 
drive several Ford and Chrysler rental cars last year, (Tempos and 
K-cars) and thought they were trash.  The difference between the 
overall feel of the rental cars and Japanese cars I've driven was
like the difference between a real piano and a toy one.  The first
K-car I drove handled so poorly in the snow I thought there was 
something wrong with it until I drove a few others and realized that's
just how bad they are.
