It is a testament to the American taste that all I have to say is, look
this thing is cheaper, and everyone buys it.  They complain that it falls
apart and then they buy the same brand again and again and again.  Same
goes for certain Japanese brands, not just American ones.  I have some
family members that buy Nissans, and they have been totally screwed by the
cars and the deallers repeated times, but still only buy Nissans.   The
funniest was the new Nissan minnivan they bought about two years ago, the
dealer couldn't seem to get the shrink wrap all the way off for delivery.
Made a wonderfull flapping noise in the wind as it slapped the roof.  Then
about a month into owning it the windshield gasket fell off!  The CD
changer that was ordered with the van didn't operate through the reciever
head, even though it had CD control ability.   You had to use a little
remote.  Best of all the CD changer was put under the front seat, while
there was a factory made space for one in the dash!?????  Who can fiqure it
out?  Oh, and to top it all off, on a small placard buried out of sight,
Made By FORD Motor Company.  If you put the right badge on it they will come!
