...NAFTA will be good to Mexico following this devaluation, but this does not mean that it will be bad for us. Trade is not a zero-sum game; now that we are in a free-trade zone, we benefit when Mexico benefits. And isn't that partly the goal of NAFTA anyway; to help improve life in Mexico through trade? We should enjoy our new connections with Mexico and be glad that we are in a position to help the country out of its currency crisis through trade and investment...

Originally intended for young drivers, the surprisingly roomy Neon now sits in the driveways of nearly 175,000 value- minded consumers of all ages, proving that these days good things really do come in small packages...
