For all the straight business likeness of Japanese cars, with everything run like clock work, they seem to be able to make cars that have some soul, some personality, plus reliability and general longevity and performance. In Italian cars you can have the looks and performance, in German cars you can have the performance and reliability, but it seems only the Japanese have managed to capture all three, mass produce them, and put them at a price point that normal people can afford. Saabs used to be about odd but likeable looks, quirky but sane ways of doing things, and performance on top, but I can't see them still being that after Opel get their claws into new models. But a decent used Prelude or Accord seems to be the way foward for me, with an older used Lexus should I suddenly find myself well off. -- The poster formerly known as Skodapilot. http://www.bouncing-czechs.com
