My parents had there sorted past with Ford and Chevy..Thing is 30 or 40 years ago economy cars were more high-maintanance than they are today, and a little complaint about "my torque converter blew on me" goes a long way...eventually it turns into "Stay away from the Ford Windstar, their torque converters stink"..I don't know, maybe. But if you ask me cars were a lot safer years ago because they did'nt entice the driver to speed and drive recklessly. I can't stand seeing Chevy make Impala's with 300 horsepower engines and transmissions that BURST into gear with a breath of the accelerator. Just like the Allstate commercial, you can make a car as safe as possible by thinking of every kind of accident but bad drivers are BAD DRIVERS. I saw one of those new Nissan Maximas' on the way home from work today and of course this KID rockets past me thinking I'll be impressed and nearly slams into a car down the road that was DOING the speed limit. I really think that car companies should either stop supercharging economy cars or raise the price so not too many people can afford them...
