Bear in mind, the manufacturer would be perfectly happy if the car

I doubt that any car manufacturer would be happy about that because if
they
build a car that blows up the day after the warranty expires, you can be
sure that the replacement car will be made by someone else.

Maybe for foreign cars. They intend to sell you your next 10 cars.


Nope, they havent been into the american new car every year stupidity.

USA: They want to sell you your next car. There used to be brand loyalty.
Always buy a Chevy. Fords are great, Mopars rule, blah blah, blah. That's
gone.


Not for everyone it hasn't.


You're just as likely to find somebody who's stuck on Toyota or Honda or Hyundai as
somebody who's stuck on Chevy or Ford. Human nature.


I would buy another Honda. It probably wouldn't be new tho.
