I have a 9 yr old American made SUV with over 100K miles that has been relatively maintenance free. If I didnt keep crashing into things it would look perfect too. It has been a good solid vehicle and i will probably keep it another 7 years before giving it to my son as his first vehcile. With that said, I hate SUV’s after driving them for the last 20 years and will never buy another one. Hopefully there will be a nice new european car in my driveway next to it in 2011.
