d'ba even japanese cars in the states have low resale value. sa states kasi basta 2nd hand, mababa na talaga bentahan. dito lang naman sa P'nas ginagawang ginto ang 2nd hand, porkit Toyota, Honda, Diesel SUV etc...

You know why this is so? Because it is easy to get cars in any form in the US because Americans are blessed with easy access to low interest credits. Lucky them! People there also change their vehicles very often for various reasons.

I know people who immigrated there whom drive brand new European brands compared to the mid-size Japanese that they can afford here. All of that is thanks to leasing.

Even in the new Focus, the AT is unimpressive. It's so sluggish!

And of course, there's the sudden and disastrous AT failures on older cars... but then, I'm of two minds as to whether that's the manufacturer's fault or the owner's fault... but it seems to happen a lot on old Ford SUVs.
