like all the REAL American cars! Personally I wish they all still did. I
hate these stupid rubber timing belts! All they're good for is generating
revenue for the delaers when they slip or break and you end having to buy
half of a new engine or a new car.
Not all foreign (non US) cars use rubber band drive.
Both my Suzuki's (96 4cyl and 2002 6cyl) use a chain. Some Mitsubishi's
do too. Some (mitsu's) have convoluted giant wandering chains that need
oil-pressure powered tensioners that raise hell as the engine gets
older.
