my take. I am a person who grew up on Chevy's/GM's and put my own money into Japanese vehicles and have had good experiences with the products the Japanese have delivered. I am very excited about an american auto makers product (singlular) with the Camaro. I sold new Hondas and Toyotas and many used vehicles of different makes.
Some automakers have better reputations for quality and longevity. The big 3 arent the first that come to mind, despite their marketing efforts over the past few years. there is a stigma that needs to be shaken and that will happen with time if the big 3 can prove their quality.
Every car maker has recalls over time. This is a reality, especially with mass produced products. Mistakes happen. this is particularly true with brand new models. I have been very skeptical and even cynical of Big 3 in the past, but I am holding judgement until they have worked out the bugs over the next while. Its gonna happen and society needs to be patient. Hondas and Toyotas have problems too and people get up in arms when they do. I had a problem with one of my Honda's...but I saw it for what it was...a fluke.
The quality of GM will be shown in how they respond to problems and what they do to prevent it from happening again. I am not planning on buying a 5th gen until the second year or so because of financial reasons and I also want to see how the car holds up with time and if they take care of the bugs. although it sucks to have problems now, it will get worked out in the end.
