About the Honda: Most American made cars aren't cheaper than most Hondas...Erk, unless you mean Saturns, which I think might be American Made, I forget. Chevrolet, I don't think has an equal-size car to anything Honda has that costs less than that Honda would. I have a 10 year old Chevy Blazer, Stick Shift, and it's got over 150k miles on it. It was taken care of moderately well, when I got it last year, all it needed was new tires, and it's radio was 10 years old, so the antennae had corroded at the connector points, so reception was bad. The Battery was also 4 years old, and hadn't fared as well as the rest of the car. I took it to Chevy, and they replaced the battery cheaper than anywhere else, putting in a good grade DieHard Battery, at my request, they also gave me a discount on replacing the tires. The Radio wasn't the original, the first owner decided to replace it :rolleyes: as soon as he got it, so I had to go somewhere else to get that fixed...but all in all, that Blazer has cost me very little to get into shape, the Brakes are in excellent condition, as is the Drive Train, and the Engine. I'm not saying that your sister is incorrect Les, I'm just stating that it's less dependant on what kind of car, and the company that makes it, for how much repairs will cost, instead it's more dependant on how well you take care of your car, and making sure that you stop a problem before it gets big. My Grandmother's Chevy Malibu is about 5 years old now, and still in great condition, and it's about the same size as a Honda, and I think costs a little more than the closest equivalent, I'm not sure. Just my two cents on it. I highly doubt there will be a 7.2, unless you want to call CL SP:WaW 8.0, there will be no new version of SPWaW.
