I helped my parents buy a new car two weeks ago. They've always owned Honda's. They checked out Camry's, Accord's, Altima's, Malibu's, and the Sonata. They ended up picking a Ford. Something that they thought they would never buy. It was cheaper, quieter and built just as well as the japanese cars. It also got a bit better gas mileage. The Sync system is also pretty cool.
