The chevy volt is on this concept. While I am not a big chevy an I will be checking out the volt in late 2009.

I think I'd buy an American car over Japanese or Asian. GM is ranking pretty high in reliability now in the face of stiffer competition, so that is no longer an issue. I'm still partial to European cars though. They always get first pick when I'm looking into a new vehicle.

I'm real tempted by a Cadillac CTS-V however. So that might be my first American car in quite some time. If you look at it however, it does have a Euro look to it. That is probably why I like it.

That's good. Maybe it is becuase I am possibly older, I still see Japanese and Asian cars as cheap crap boxes and that mentallity sticks in my mind! I guess it could be worse - Hyundai!

I know they have come a long way, but....

No offense with your car selection. it is just how I see Japanese cars. You never see important people drive them - even today, except for maybe a Prius - I've seen stars push the green image with these cars, but thats the only time. They are either in a Cadi, Lincoln, or some Euro car like a Mercedes.
