I've Drawn the same conclusion.

Have the Van for work.

For home and for my Wifes general use We bought a Hyundai Santa Fe


Love the thing Handles nice,

Only complaint I have about it is the speakers sound a bit tinny.

Other then that, Wonderful vehicle
Death is no easy answer
For those who wish to know
Ask those who have been before you
What fate the future holds
It ain't pretty

Only some american cars suck.  I will be inheriting my families traditional "first car". It was my dads, his dads, my uncles, and my cousins. its a 1955 chevy belair. 200,000 miles. Drives like new. we replaced the engine at 190,000 with a 396 from a chevelle at the junk yard. has a transmision from the same chevelle to. also replaced at 190,000. I love the thing. though it does smell a bit....used.:aok

I have buddies that own "Ram's".  One owned a 1997 2500, two trannies failed by 25k.  Another owned a 1998 3500 Cummins.   First tranny went at 4500 miles, 2nd  one went at 17500, and he turned the truck when the 3rd one went at 28500ish.   Not to mention other Dodge owners who have gazed in bewilderment at the Car they "had" parked in the driveway when they went to bed.  Only to wake up and see it in the street.  I even worked with a buddy who had a 150 Van (?).  When he told me he had 75000 miles on it, I told him to watch it, the Tranny will start slipping and the next thing you know.  When he cracked 83000, the tranny was rebuilt.

PS - the "Hemi", is the biggest engine farce since the Quad 4.
