And take a peek at those other vehicles I mentioned when you have time...they're on par or better than their Japanese rivals in many areas, though no vehicle is "perfect". That quality gap you speak of no longer exists, it's pure perception.
Actually, Buick punted Lexus (you know, those shiny Toyotas) out of first place this year in JDPower's quality study. The other brands aren't too shabby, either, and improving. Ditto for Ford.
But that's not the subject of this thread, so I digress.  To see more, go here: http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15993

I HOPE that the Camaro does as well as Buick, which has been the best in the quality department for the General for a while. We'll see. The high-tech V-6 is from Cadillac, so maybe that engine will score high. But on average, Toyota and Honda are usually still on top. I agree that Detroit is improving, which is essential for the long term health of the U. S. auto industry. But I had major transmission (6 speed) and drive train issues with my 02 Firebird at about 75,000 miles. Almost $3,000 to get it right.
