How the US fell out of love with its cars

lol, ever notice I never once mentioned mitsubishi when i refer to foreign vehicles and resale? Same goes for Kia, Daewoo, Suzuki (cars), etc. Even though Mitsubishi is on the same level as Toyota and Honda and make more parts for other manfacturers than both of them combined i still think, with the exception of the EVO, they are shit. Plus trucks will always have a higher resale than cars, but as i said before...compare that Ranger to a comparable Tacoma or a fullsize chevy to the Tundra and see what you come up with

My point was we can all manipulate the info to get the results we want. also see above for your truck comparison


Edit Ranger vs Tacoma.

Tacoma only beats the Ranger by about $400

02 Tacoma beats 02 S-10 by almost 3 grand

02 Tacoma beats 02 Ranger by about 2grand

02 Tundra beats 02 F150 by $100

02 Tundra beats 02 1500 by about $500


I thought the Ranger, S-10 and Tacoma would be closer since the full size trucks stay fairly close together.

Interesting, on trade-in of the toyota vs. fullsize chevy i remember it being close to double the value, oh well...you still win half then
