Here is my two cents...beware any American car company's products...here is all that I have ever gotten with any GM or Ford...headaches, no service, TERRIBLE resale due to the rebates, inferior products...bad engines, transmissions, brakes, computers, distributors, etc...lousy dealers and the list goes on. My wife and I now own two Honda vehicles and they are both made right here in OH so we have helped support the American workforce. I look forward to selling these Honda vehicles in 6 or 7 years simply for the resale value. Look at the Honda Ridgeline again and compare it to the Dodge...the Honda is made far better. I would highly recommend the Toyota over the Dodge too. The Toyota will be on the road far longer and with less headaches. Get yourself a copy of Consumer Reports ($9.99 at Borders) and see for yourself. Check the body integrity of the the interior fit alone. Can you find any loose plastic trim? On the Dodge you will. What is your goal...do you want reliable long lasting practical transportation or a vehicle that will let you down in the long run? I am not anti American. I look for the best product...that in short is capitalism at its best! Someday the quality of GM, Ford, and Chrysler will improve or they won't be around.
