and those are good cars how? Over priced and unreliable from my experience.
Cheap and fast are not reliable.

or is your experience based on a friend of a friends, mother's, sister's, boyfriend's lawnmower's experience?
Mine is very reliable. WAY more reliable than my S2k ever was..

How about the good products that they put out??
Challengers
Chargers
Road Runners
300C
Mini-vans
Ram trucks
Vipers
Most things with an SRT badge.
Jeep GC
Jeep Wrangler
Neon SRT4
Hell, at least Chrysler stuck its neck out on designs.
Look at the Plymouth Prowler,
Crossfire, vipers, ect.. At least Chrysler had the balls to put out a product like that. Sure, its a risk, but at least they put out an interesting car.
What has toyota put out that you could say was cutting edge design? How about Honda? .... yeah.. nothing.

As for Toyota, you are correct IMHO, they have embraced blandness as a corporate strategy for about 15 years now. Reliable but utterly boring. That statement includes Lexus.
And Honda? They apparently see something in the Toyota strategy that really inspired them. Ugly and functional is in. Emotion and fun are out. That statement includes Acura.

F you too! If you're too weak to unscrew the bolt I tightened, too f'ing bad. I'm very muscular and have strong arms, so I might've inadvertently tightened your bolt too tightly.

105 ft-lbs on your impact wrench? Get yourself a man-sized Ingersoll, lol.
Seriously though, that's messed up but I see the same thing on my rides. WTF is up with service monkeys using obviously unregulated impact wrenches to tighten those bolts?!

On the other hand, the torque spec for my Yukon Denali lug nuts was 140 ft/lbs. I used a 30" torque wrench for leverage. My S2000 just doesn't seem manly with its girly man 80 ft/lb spec.
