1. the corvette - its the ONLY one still built here!!!

At least I dont know of any cars built here anymore besides it.

2. Shameless plug for my Jeep Wrangler...

No problems yet.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

3. You can rely on most Chevy's to rust out and break down...

4. Ford Escape Hybrid

It's the most reliable American-made hybrid.
In fact, it's the ONLY American-made hybrid.

6. Except that it's a Mazda.

11. Or is the Mazda Tribute really a Ford?

They're both built in Ford's Kansas City factory.

Ford has the hybrid and Mazda doesn't.
How Come Mazda Doesn't Sell a Hybrid?

Ford owns 1/3 of Mazda.

16. I think the Escape is Mazda designed

just the like the Ford Probe

5. Last year it was the Buick Regal..which of course....

7. AMC Gremlin

8. Anycar with the 3800 engine

Two people I know have it and both swear by it. My dad's had more than 250,000 and my friends had over 125k. Solid engines

9. Do you know why...

cab and limo companies use the big Ford platform?

300,000 miles easy with a fleet Grand Marquis or Town car, and I know a few private owners who get 500,000 and more. They run 50-100,000 miles a year.

Yeah, you're going to replace the alternator and blower motor and fix the power windows once a year if you use it like that, but you're going to fix or replace that stuff on a Toyota when it racks up that kind of mileage, too.

10. 1992 Dodge Caravan

with the V-6.

Almost 170K with very little trouble.

Good mileage as well...up to 25mpg on the highway.

12. I love my new Ford Focus, but it's not 100% american made.

I drove from Traverse City, MI to Detroit on half a tank of gas!

13. Saturn n/t

14. I'm still drving my 1993 SW2

and a 1995 SC2 is still doing pretty well

but the 2001 L300 and the 1998 SL2 were pieces of crap.

[TreasonousBastard]

18. 2000 LS1 with 105,000 miles...

with 70,000 of them since I bought it a year ago, is still going strong. Haven't even had to do the brakes yet.

The 2.2L 4 seems to be their best engine.

15. our two Fords:

a 91 Taurus wagon and a 97 Contour both have close to 150K and neither has ever used one drop of oil. They start first time, every time. Of course, we do keep up with maintenance like oil changes, tuneups, etc.

17. I think that's an oxymoron. n/t
