I caught up with few interesting chats with my friends that had come over to visit us over the weekend.
1. We were discussing about best cars to buy. Everyone suggested either Toyota or Nissan or Honda, but very few had approvals for American made cars ( A typical desi syndrome !). Some one even told that Desi's wouldn't prefer a SATURN , not 'coz its American made, but that the name relates to Shani (சனி !) .

Oh Well, I already own a Saturn and it runs smooth and have no problems yet !! (Touchwood!).

Maruti is the Best car.
Prabhu,
I bought a Camry in January. An american car was never in my mind. It was either Toyota or Honda ( Ofcourse..I am not rich to think about Benz or BMW). I have a Nissan and wouldn't go for one again..since I am not very happy with their quality.
Now, if you look around ( California ) and see the cars on the road you'll notice that a majority of the cars are Japanese!
Asians 99% buy only Jap. cars.
My American friends at work..would do that same..and infact we've had numerous discussions about how Detroit is losing out.!
Case in point: Hybrid Cars. Toyota has the Prius/Camry ( soon) and the Highlander Hybrids and honda has a few too. We have to wait to buy these and there is absolutely no bargaining.!!
Now whats wrong with Detroit. Why can they roll out small Hybrid cars? Why are they not? I am not sure.!!
I think the Japs. invest a lot of money in Building a quality product..vs Detroit...that just rolls out models.!!
Nissan lags in this list apart from their Altima line.!
All the above are MHO. :)
Saturn was my first preference when I was looking for my first car, till I test drove the honda civic. I went ahead and bought the civic.
In dec'05, when I was shopping for a new car (my car was totalled), I knew I wanted to buy a japanese care only. I bought a subaru.
The quality of the japanese cars stands out. I totally agree with Narayanan
