The shame of this all is that the American auto companies were starting to shed their reputation for building unreliable vehicles. About 8 years ago we purchased a Chrysler and the transmission went out at 30,000 miles, 42,0000 miles, then again at about 58,000. We looked at other vehicles both foreign and domestic and in our minds the American vehicles were superior in comfort and despite what had happened with the Chrysler we went American again with a Chevy. This Chevy has 120,000 miles on it and it has run beautifully with the exception of the transmission. Go figure. We have had to replace the transmission twice but I wouldn't trade this vehicle for another vehicle and I have no regrets for purchasing it. With the exception of the transmission the fit and finish on this vehicle is still solid. No squeeks and no rattles. I would buy a Chevy again when we have run this vehicle into the ground, but I have a feeling that will be years from now.
On another note....can Toyota and Honda not build comfortable seats? When we were shopping for vehicles 6 years ago it seemed like the models we tested from those companies had seats that felt like sitting on a rock. Maybe this has changed as of late...
