I think your flame on Detroit is partially justified, but the responses I got to my query were generally positive about the new small American cars, particularly Omni and Horizon. In spite of my "commendable" concern for the economy, I have no intention of buying a bad car just to avoid an import. The intent of my message was not to suggest that we shouldn't buy imports, but rather to find out if anyone out there has seen any decent alternatives. True, the response from Detroit to the energy problems has been very slow, but I think they are (finally) moving in the right direction.
