I've done a good amount of work with both Honda and GM for their engine assembly lines. I think both companies are great compared to some "others". Honda does a much better job designing their products for an automation and assembly lines. Most of GM products I've worked on have been designed more for performance and not for automation and assembly lines. I'm not a loyalist to any car manufacturer but I currently own and drive 3 GM vehicles (Malibu, Traverse, Camaro) and 1 Honda Ridgeline. All of them except the Camaro have been problem free. I feel as though I've had the Ridgeline for many years now and have put it through more hell than most guys do with their 3/4 ton diesels.
One example was we cleared out an acre of woods. I used a large hay dump wagon that I was able to fill with easily 2 chords of wood at a time. Hauled that up hill in all kinds of conditions and then 10 miles down the road. I'm guessing I did this over 20 times and never had any problems even though I exceeded that trucks hauling capacity by 100%. That is probably the worse but I've honestly beat the crap out that little truck and it just keeps doing its job.
