I'm not a big fan of the engineered failure aspects. I have family members who have designed and worked extensively on old model GM vehicles (read: buicks) and I know for a fact that they are designed to fail precisely after a certain amount of miles. Kind of like a lightbulb.
Oh, and I dont like having two keys to drive my car. I like one. :P
edit: thats not to say that things havn't changed in either the key aspect or the engineered failure. I believe that a lot of changes have occured in an effort to make GM able to compete with some of the 'foreign' designed cars (foreign questionable as the global economy has brought us all a little bit closer together).. I'm not as knowledgable about their current reliability, but I probably wouldn't buy one. Reliability and performance are my main concerns for vehicles, and my last purchase was a toyota. (Was for the woman, she only needed reliability :-D)
