If I were doing research on this topic this would be the exact outcome I would expect to happen. I would have guessed that Ford/chrysler/GM buyers are less educated than Honda/Toyota buyers.

The only issue where I think any of us would be angered is how these "smart" people who buy Japanese cars will read things like this and continue to have snob arrogance regarding their purchase. I work with a lot of highly intelligent people and they probably see my domestic car and wonder why I was dumb enough to buy a less reliable car, but the thing is, they don't use/value a car in the same manner that I do. They want different things than I do. The car that I bought, for the price that I wanted, has everything that I want....no other car company other than a domestic company had what I wanted.

A study says that less educated people eat at mcdonald's more than college educated people. I have no trouble believing that, but I might want to eat at mcdonald's more because I work across from the restaurant. It benefits me more to eat there than to drive somewhere else and lose time off my lunch. Just because, ON AVERAGE, people are less edcucated, it doesn't mean that YOU are.
You again either miss, or ignore my point. When you say "we" you seem to be implying that you are with "us" but I don't think that you are. Maybe you're just playing devil's advocate here, but I don't feel that was your best play for your first post here on Camaro5... Feel free to reply, but I'm done wasting my energy on you sir.
