is that what the problem is? i don't like much of any of the cars these daze..
maybe if they'd look at american women, i'd like them better..never been too
big on Japanese women's asses..but American women(some of them..) have AWESOME
ones!..now..would it not make sense to model them after teh market they are
making them for? IMHO, the 929 should be scrapped, the 626 should too, the
only mazda worth buying is the MX-3(for looks), the RX-7(performance), and..
well..that is all..unless we talk trucks..and i do not care for them all that
much either!..oh..mazda is not the only one! the WHOLE Honda(american version)
line should be SCRAPPED! the used to look ok..but now...my GOODNESS!!!i almost
hurled on the salesd***s shoes when i walked onto a lot in the beginning of
the 92 year!..and GM has done the same thing w/ the cc line..the WHOLE BUICK
line, etc...the saturns are...well..not acceptable to me for looks, esp. the
"sport" model...AAACKKK!!.Ford screws up the Crown Vic line(nice try, but no
cigar!), the Taurus, thankfully, hasn't been screwed over yet.  It seems that
all of the car co.s are following the "japanese" look now..and it SUX!!!!
oh for the daze of BMW(one of the FEW remodeleds that look good!) and MB, and
others like them...instead of the lexus(hurl!) infinti(bigger!) and mazda
shit look! oh well..i doubt i'm alone..but SOMEONE must be buying this crap
they're making...so..i figure this'll be flamed all to hell.  This is fine..
spend your $$ on what i consider "jap crap", not cuz it's made in japan, but
because it's UGLY and made in japan(except the Crown vic, saturn, and REST of
GM..at least their trucks are pretty!). i just hope enuff of my type are around
so that i can buy a Pretty NEW car one day...
BTW: the japanese exception that i can think of right now: mitsubishi's
eclipse line(and pseuodnyms), Nissans cars(most of them), and several
toyotas(mr2, soon to be discontinues :(    ).
