Ugh! My car died on me today.
My 1998 Dodge Durango only has 39k miles on it and it died today. It's already passed it's 3 year 36k mile warranty. Of course, now all the new dodge's have a 7 year 70k warranty. Just my freak'n luck. this sucks cause I had so much to do today, but now I have to get my car towed and taken to a shop. I'll probably end up getting a new car this weekend, and I hate dealing with money hungry car salesman. I'm never going to buy an american car again. I'm sticking with German or Japanese.
I don't expect anyone to reply to this thread, just wanted to vent.

Well here's what I think about your expectations.....
Actually, I'm going car shopping as a little graduation present to myself and am debating between the Ford Explorer SporTrac and Nissan Xterra...I don't know a TON about cars...are american cars really *that* bad? I love the interior of the ford and feel more comfortable in it, but if reliability's that much an issue...i'll go with the nissan.

You will get what you pay for. The proportion of reliability of american vs. japanese cars is similarly proportional to the price. i.e. the japanese cars are going to be a little more reliable, but they are also more expensive for what you get. You can get almost any american car for an excellent deal right now, with rock bottom prices and 0% financing in most cases, so I would go american.
