I wouldn't!
But maybe if they charged $1416.00 ... could be worth it!

Hmm and I was thinking that the car industry was making less profit these days...

So, how does this compare to the reliability figures of brands over the years? I have come to the belief that japanese car brands that used to be WAY on top have slid down in stead of other brands climbing up significantly. They may have a bit, but not by as much as the japanese reliability has dropped. I always though that this was because of competition and that if they wanted to keep on selling cars they had to cut on some things somewhere to keep the prices down.

So, to keep in line with the topic title.. Riddle me this

Cheers,

Consider that England (size of Victoria) has a bigger population than all of Australia. So car are cheaper there and the volume of cars is more.
