Replying to: rockylee (Apr 07, 2007 10:57 am) I'd agree to a certain point. If a company has historically for a long period of time stood behind it's product then it means it must be good. Since GM has only recently offered a "decent" warranty (the bumper to bumper coverage still sucks, for lack of a better word) then its really just a marketing gimmick. Wait 10 years from now and see if the warranty remains the same. |

Too often is only of Cadillac and GM's past. Let's have people post about Hondas and Toyotas from their first years here. I can start with the 70s, early 80s model a buddy had in Charleston with CVCC that required premium, quit running if you hit water on the road in rain, showed rusting real fast, jumped to the next lane when you accelerated quickly in a lower gear due to torque steer. Sometimes our views are tunneled without the broad view that lots of these cars had problems. Even today I can list a bunch of Camry discussions with _lots_ of problems, right here,now, on Edmunds, live. A couple-a-years-ago it was the Avalon. Even CR had to downgrade their rating with a small comment and a picture on the bottom of a page. Cars do change. Hopefully they improve. |

Replying to: imidazol97 (Apr 09, 2007 9:15 am) Some of our most magnificent collectible/classic American cars were made by companies that soon after went out of business. RE: PROBLEMS PER 100 VEHICLES: do they define what a "problem" is exactly? Is my Lexus window regulator problem equal to your Cadillac transmission problem or somebody else's Mercury with the bad dome light? How does this work?
