If its american (i use the term lightly) then buy a Ford...its not gov't owned...yet. Honda would be the next choice if you are looking for return and durability. The Nissan Titans are sweet but you pay for it.
Perhaps you should upgrade to an SUV! I purchased a 1 year old Tahoe a while back, and love it. There is a local guy that trades his in every year for a new one, the guy is mr. clean when it comes to his trucks. I wouldn't mind getting a hold of his used truck next time around.
I'm pretty lucky in this department. I know several auto wholesalers, and when I get ready for something, I give them the parameters of what I want, how much I'll pay, etc. and I can most of the time get a new (to me) vehicle that is worth more than the book value in 6-12 months. They get great deals on cabinets from me. Everyone wins.
Kuzi,
I do not know how a Mini Cooper S handles in the snow, but I bought one not long ago and absolutely love it. I am from the "DRIVE IT LIKE YOU STOLE IT " mindset and still get over 33 miles per gallon. Again I live in the south so snow is not something I even think about when getting a car, but for hte money and the fun just driving it (course I only use mine mostly to work) its a hell of a car.

my wife was looking at one of those actually. my biggest problem with them is that they are so freakin hard to find. i dont want to pay for a new one and nobody gives them up after they get them so the used market is slim pickens.

Any car yet??? That cash for clunkers stimulus would sure help out and they say that it may not last long for the money set aside is gone-when-gone...
My wife and I are going to get a subaru impreza outback sport this week. If you are interested in subarus you should join GSA (geological society of america) because that allows you to but the car at 2% below invoice price which means no haggeling. Plus we get an additional 500 bucks off and we will get 3500 for the clunker program. All in all were getting a 22k car for about 15-16k.
