My friend, who is a manager at a rent-a-car place agrees. Paraphrasing his thoughts on reliablety (note, his location has over 500 cars), Chrysler/Plymouth/Dodge are the worst: His argument: They had a new fleet of 20 said cars and within a month they were all in the shop. The next most reliable were Fords with GM being the most reliable. Note: They have had the best luck with Japanese cars. I have to admit, that the Fiero is on the slow side, but GM is correcting this buy soon having a six-cylinder avail. I have also heard rumors about a 4-cylinder turbo. For your comparisons of the Daytona to the Camero/Firebird, those are different classes of cars, although they tend to be marketed at the same group. You comparison of the daytona to the corvett is so unfounded and is pathetic. The corvett will blow away any US car and maybe all but a couple of foreign sports cars. Note: I said sport cars. I do not recognize the daytona to be a sports car but rather sports coupe more in the class of a Citation X-11. I also do not believe that the Camero/Firebird is a true sports car. -- Brad Brahms usenet: {decvax,ucbvax}!trwrb!trwspp!brahms arpa: Brahms@USC-ECLC
