It's one thing to say American cars suck if you own a Honda or Toyota.

If you are saying Nissan,Mazda, and Mitsubishi and trying to equate that to reliability...ummm no.

I have a Nissan and it gives me more problems than my Ford does...that's two years older. My sister just bought a brand new Altima(I did my best to talk her out of it)...guess what the engine has already developed a tick.

Nextly if you are saying lump the GTO...based on what? Because it's a Pontiac?
What have you heard about the GTO failing and falling apart?
Is it the engine? Oh wait not that ain't it it's got an LS1 the thing is tough as nails and makes tons of power. It's a performance engine with going on 6 years of useage in Corvettes and Camaros. These things don't just quit on you. In fact would you take a slapped together generic V6 from some schlub of a company that doesn't have near the construction tolerances of a performance engine from GM?

Is it the transmission? I know that ain't it either. It's got a T-56 tranny. Again one the best things you can have or else they wouldn't stick them in Vettes and Vipers.

So what would make you guys say the GTO is "unreliable"?
