Currently reliability and American cars aren't two words that go together in the automotive world I'm sad to say considering it used to be just the opposite. I've had a Pontiac G6 that I bought brand new a few years ago and it has been by all accounts a lemon of a car going back to the dealer once every few months for major problems that you rarely see in Toyota's or Nissan's in the first few years. I do hope that the Camaro I get doesn't have as much trouble as my G6. I just can't stand the looks of the Nissan's and Toyota's which is probably the main reason I always buy either Ford or GM. At least GM is above Dodge in build quality.. Corvette's are notorious for having small problems very early on (car gets creaky after six months, tire rods going bad, tilt steering wheel clicking when turning..etc..) These are things you come to expect with GM vehicles that you don't see so early while buying Japanese cars. Perhaps it is better building techniques or better work ethics or training of employees, however the reality is already there.. I know GM is striving for excellence and to change this image that they as well as other American car companies have.. And I do hope we start seeing this change in the new Camaro..
