I am currently in the market for a sporty new mid-size sedan.

After some research and test driving, I have narrowed my choices to the

Nissan Altima

Pontiac G6.

The G6 is a little less powerful, but more fuel economic. Other than that, the features are roughly the same, except GM vehicles have OnStar, which is a nice feature given the amount of out-of-town travel i do.

The Nissan is about $4000 more. I have heard good things about Import cars Vs. Domestic cars, but the G6 seems to be getting good reviews from credible car magazines and such.

What do yuo guys think.... is it worth it to go Import for the $4000 more, just for the extra (supposed) reliability?? or am I smart to go with the domestic vehichle, on the assumption that it won't cause me $4000 more worth of trouble over the life of the vehicle?

Any input is greatly appreciated, especially form owners of either of these vehichles.... or other mid-size sedan owners as well.

Thanks in advance
