Now, I drive a Plymouth Breeze, and right now it has 126000+ miles on it. It's a good car but it's been somewhat MX intensive. I had a transmission failure about 9 months ago and the car was laid up for about 2-3 weeks or so, costing at least $2000.

Richie,I'm Glad that you have had great look with your American Made cars,but facts are facts,Consumer Reports ( a magazine from the consumer for the Consumer)Reports the the Japaneese auto's have better reliability the the Top 3 American made auto's.Its been proven.More problems per thousand.Its not opinion,Its fact.Do problems happen to the Japaneese cars,YES,just less likely to happen.
Another thing is look at a Ford,GM,or Chrysler,and then look at a Honda,or oyota that is equipt the same.The price is about the same at the start.Then look at their value after 3 years.Look at the difference.The Japaneese auto hold more value,costing you less long term.
One last thing People who buy Honda SUV's dont go off road.and they drive better in the streets of your CONCRETE JUNGLE.
