I retract my post on the 30k milage figure. I think its actually after 50k miles that the Caddy we have with the Northstar started burning oil.

I'm used to the Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep absolute-upper-limit of 30,000 miles before everything breaks. Don't even get me started...you could hand me the keys to a new Challenger and I would sell it in a heartbeat to get a Camaro. You can end up spending a quarter of the price of the Dodge POS just on maintenance (new trans, new engine, new brake rotos...etc.).

I think the Northstar engine is a great powerplant, you just gotta be sure you check the oil fairly frequently, which I do anyway, so no complaints from my end (especially since it's not in my personal car), just an observation.
