And the new Hyundai's coming out are really pretty sweet. The Genesis platform is sweet, especially w/ the V8. Never mind their rally cars.
Overall build quality is so high across the board that it doesn't really factor in for me. Basically, the lack of AWD options in inexpensive cars is my stumbling block. I jsut don't want to own a 2WD daily driver for as long as I live around here. At least not until I can essentially keep an extra Subaru around that I can let sit during good weather and still trust and enjoy in the winter.
