- Pontiac. Just...Pontiac. - JaxSean Oct 29, 10:29 1
  - Good call, on both fronts. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 29, 10:30

        I have no doubt. I was just making a joke about safety standards in India. (Which are far better than the standards at that chinese version of tata) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 29, 10:33
        
        plus their name is amusing to say. -- nm - Reagen Oct 29, 10:31 1
        
        Bodacious tata motors. -- nm - Inigo Oct 29, 10:38
- All of them. I don't know who in their right mind would buy a vehicle from either company. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 29, 10:26 4
  - I paid $11k for my brand new Cobalt. I can't complain. 30mpg and it works. -- nm - kilboooo Oct 29, 10:33

  - I'd buy a cheap jeep, but that's about the extent of it. - Beryllium Oct 29, 10:28 1
    - (Well, I mean, a 4x2 would work for me, of course - but it doesn't make sense to buy a 4x2 jeep :)) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 29, 10:29

        And then watch as people stop buying cars because they don't want to pay the 10k extra? -- nm - kilboooo Oct 29, 10:32 1
        
        But they won't have the option to pay $10k *less*. - JaxSean Oct 29, 10:35
        
        I was interested in the Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner hybrids, but I'm out of the market for the time being -- nm - Beryllium Oct 29, 10:32 3
