Did I say I had a certain affinity for GM vehichles? No, there just one of the heaviest users of the automotive outsourcing scheme that I know of. I'm sure their are bigger ones. Especially the Korean companies.
But now that you mention it, I do like GM vehichles over most others. Growing up GM, I've just learned to deal with American quality issues (which I DO NOT deny). American is crap, thats why my girlfriends RAV4 has almost 250,000 miles and makes nary a rattle and drinks not a drop of oil. Meanwhile, my 115,000 mile S10 has its second transmission, and makes enough noises to star in a CarX commercial... remember those? "Rattle rattle thunder clatter, boom..boom..boom.. Dont worry call the CarX man!".
If you dont mind working on your own vehichles, which is pretty much my thing outside of work and electronics... American cars are cheap and easy to fix, mostly (damn Fords!). I dread the day any of our other foreign vehichles will need a major repair.
