I don't care for their product but this is excellent news for them and I hope they are on the road to recovery. I might be a Japanese only buyer (specifically Honda motor corp) for the rest of my life but I'd like to see the big 3 get back in the game for our country.

the new sebring does offer heated cloth seats.

Next on News at 11, could your car seats catch on fire? you'll see why a popular rental car is going through a mandatory recall....

I'd echo that almost exactly. But not strict Honda only, and would consider European as well.

I like to see GM do OK, but have been burned twice in the last ten years. Not awful cars, but nickel and dime stuff and horrible resale when both cars were sold at 3 years and about 30,000 miles. I buy new cars too often to keep doing that.

My S2000 would bring about $3500 less than I paid for it used four three years ago. And I have owned Toyotas I bought used and sold higher after a couple years use.

BMWs don't burn, they glow.

They trimmed the fat, sold a huge part of a large arm of the company, causing them to turn a profit...that's the good news. The bad news is they are still losing market share.
the 180M profit is net of non-recurring items.
