I understand, I almost got a toyota because 3 of my friends have mid 90s camrys and I swear they just do oil changes, its never any costly repair...

I had my windows/regulators/clips replaced over 6 times on my 1998 Jetta GLX VR6 and it was always little stuff (which is still 200-600 dollar repairs at the dealership).
But you guys are right, the Toyotas drive funny, and it seemes everyone has a boring Honda (I did test drive the Honda Hybrid V6 Accord last month and it was sweet, but still boring, even with the bells and whistles)

I honestly would pay a little more to have the products made in Germany or even USA and not Mexico, that would make me feel a little better too.

PS I would go back to making car payments if they made a hybrid/electric/enviromentally cool NEW car... (I know the diesels are nice, my ex had a Jetta TDI, and it was great...) but the beetle does scream to be something even cooler and a concept of something so modern... the beetle should have been the first hybrid/electric/whatever on the market!!! And now years later, its still just the gas or diesel
