Even though Mazda is in the "Ford family"? http://www.ford.com/about-ford/compa...le-brands#tab4

And many of the frames and other mechanicals are used by different
members of The Family.

And this is true with many other companies as well.

My Honda, 90% made in America, 100% assembled here.
The Mazda I looked at, Ford family and all, 100% made and assembled in Japan.

Which one had money staying here in a way that mattered? Hint: It's not the money at the top that matters.

Also the Mazda sucked and came with jack squat standard and the 2006 redesign of the Civic is marvelous.

Hubby and I owned matching Chrysler Sebring Convertibles, the same year and everything. REMARKABLY they managed to have the SAME problems at EXACTLY the same mileage. These cars were AWFUL.

I now have a Honda CR-V, and I can't imagine having anything other than a Honda. It's an 06 before they changed the design. I'll trade it in two years, and probably upgrade to the Pilot, because I'd like something slightly bigger when we go camping.
