Anyone noticing improvements in domestic cars?

Today my friend and I spent an hour test driving cars. One that she really wanted to try out was the Mustang. Sure, she wouldn’t buy the one we test drove (she wants a convertible), but we took it for a “spin.”

Overall, I wasn’t too unimpressed. The gas mileage was definitely not good at only 16 mpg in the city and 24 on the highway. It was a V6 though…

One thing I noticed as I was sitting in the backseat though it was the craftsmanship in part of the plastic paneling on the inside wall under the window. It looked like dried glue had been left on it and it was dirty. Now, I understand this could be from the dealership, but if they are so desperate for sales you would think they’d do everything they could to make the car more appealing to potential buyers. This car did not impress me.

We were thinking about testing out a Pontiac Solstice but ended up not going to the GM dealer at all. Then again, it’s not easy to get me to go to a GM dealer for anything.
