	This is largely peripheral information: Last fall, I spoke 
with the Honda dealer on Liberty Ave. (who was first, and is, a Buick
or Olds or somthing very other dealer). I was negatively impressed
by the sales staff, and they were not willing to make a good deal 
on their demonstrators (end of model year, no less!) and the one
I drove had some odd behavior that the salesman had a bogus 
explanation for. I have since heard (from unconfirmed rumors) that
their service department left something to be desired.
	For what it's worth, I also tried a Cavalier. Feh. They try
to sell you a silly luxury package, it has no power, and a juice
can is put together better. I ended up buying a VW from McGee. 
(They also carry Mazda, something you may want to put on your 
list-well built, relatively reasonable prices [last year, anyway].)
