I have previously owned a GM car and IMO they couldn't care less about building a good car or supporting their customers. Tranny goes out at 16k and they refuse to replace it but just rebuild it. Tranny goes at 43 or 44k, just a few thousand miles out of warranty and they refuse to do anything. I personally hope that GM goes under, it would make me feel marginally better for the screwing they gave me.

I hear people say that American manufacturers have caught up to the Japanese but I remember hearing that 10 years ago and they were still selling crap. Until they prove themselves like Toyota, Honda, and Nissan have by building many very reliable cars I will stay away, I refuse to be their test subject again and possibly get bent over again, I mean metaphorically bent over of course.

I think the trucks might be a little different, they at least seem more reliable. Maybe it is because they were so much more profitable. Anyway, cars made by GM = FAIL IMO.

I would love to know what that make, model, & year that car was.

You really can't compare most American cars out there with the C6 Corvettes. It's not your typical unreliable American junk. The Corvette is one of the very few American cars I would ever own.
