And yes, Jags. I've been in love with Jaguars since I was a little girl. Had one, was heartbroken when it needed a major repair, around the same time it was time for a new exhaust (as all vehicles eventually need), and I just couldn't afford both and had to trade it in for a less expensive car. |

I don't know what you feel constitutes a throw-away car. Eventually, at some point, ALL cars are ultimately discarded. Even the antique Model Ts that have been lovingly restored, will some day cease to function and need to be scrapped. Or put in a museum, never to be driven again.
My Ford Explorer sport (assembled in the USA with a combination of American and foreign parts) I had for 11 years. My VW bus - foreign-made was around 10 years old when I got it, and it lasted another 5 years after that. My current car I bought "almost new" in 2009, made in Japan (it had less than 300 miles on it, it was what's known as a "lot car") and as long as I don't get into any accidents or neglect to maintain it, it'll last another 10 years, at least. Current-model cars of any brand, made anywhere? I have less confidence about their lifespan. |
