Saabs are nice, and had a good rep here in the States. But not knowing if Spyker will be able to maintain a US presence (and hence parts/maintanence) is enough to be wary. Hummer is toast. Jag and LR got sold to the Indian company Tata (insert favorite breast joke here) Motors 2 years ago, so who knows what's going to happen. Apart from being American, not sure why Lincoln is on the list, Ford's quality has improved recently. Not that I would ever buy one...

The Boxsters are vaguely affordable. I've always had a soft spot in my heart for the 911, I just wish they had kept the whaletail.
