So, yeah. If you have your heart set on both a V6 and a standard transmission, you're probably going to want to look at foreign cars for now. Domestics still need a few years to catch up, but they are taking the hint.

you're right, in the entry level car market, the US manufacturers are behind. I was trying to decide between a hyundai elantra and a chevy cavalier.. the hyundai had a nicer interior, power windows, locks, and AC standard...and the price was good as well as the warranty.
my elantra has given me 60,000 trouble frre miles so far, and i find myself looking at the new hyundai offerings more than other companies.
that being said, if my next car is to be a truck or sports car....I'll be buying american =P
