That's not to say their cars are better, as reliability doesn't always equal desirability. |

Not to mention, have paid for through the nose with taxpayer money. Banks and corporations will forever expect to be given a free pass by the government whenever they get into trouble, and really with what we did for GM and Chrysler (and AIG) why wouldn't they? It will certainly keep me out of GM and Chrysler products for life, although I may be tempted by the 500 Abarth next year if that makes it here.

BO did the bailout as a "social medicine" thing. So many lives affected by such a mass casualty of losing so many GM jobs. I agree, though, that sets a schmaltzy example of what the Federal government is really for. We've pretty much beat that dead horse up ad naseum on Edmunds already, IMO. GM should've been allowed to fail on it's own. Same with Chrysler. Neither has really done me so well that I would cry many tears over their demise. I have purchased several Fords though and would miss them a lot more. |

Replying to: rayainsw (Nov 06, 2009 11:37 am) There are recent cases such as the botched release of the first Camaro that was plagued with problems. The LaCrosse would have been the same except they admitted they needed to hold it up to fix some "fit and finish" issues. Axing the G8 was brilliant, continuing 5 brands and cloaking the "war of the clones" (Eqinox/Terrain/SRX - Acadia/Traverse/Enclave), speaks with a forked tongue from my pov. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice...  Regards, OW |

Replying to: m4d_cow (Nov 06, 2009 6:14 am) So, what Japanese company gives a 7, 8 or 10 year warranty? And if you buy a 2 yr old used Korean car, do you get to keep the warranty? |

Replying to: m4d_cow (Nov 06, 2009 6:14 am) There you go Scroll down to the warranty tab about 2/3s of the way down. Honda, Toyota, Nissan and Mazda all give 3 year 36,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty and a five year 60,000 mile powertrain warranty. The same as Ford by the way. Corrosion warranty is the same across the board. Ford gives a longer road side assistance program then anyone else. I just added Subaru in there for the legacy. They have the same warranty as all the others. link title Luxury car comparison all the Japanese makes and Caddy. None of them have a 7 year warranty. They all have six year 70,000 mile power train warranties but caddy is five year 100,000 miles. Depends on how you drive if it is better to have the one extra year or the 30,000 miles. |

Replying to: british_rover (Nov 06, 2009 2:51 pm) It's true that Hyundai-Kia's 10/100 powertrain warranty drops to 5/60 for second owners, but that's still in line with the other Asian companies' nonluxury models. |
