<<I think I lot of people especially those buying new cars are buying the lighter weight imports hoping for the fuel savings, insurance, but start seeing out of line repairs and go back to domestics>.
Um, well, if you peruse the repair costs on the modern domestics cited on this site you will find some outrageous bills.
I mean, I called up the Chevy dealer and asked them how much a simple oil change was for my 2005 Aveo and they said $50 plus tax and disposable fee. Now tell me that is cheap.
Of course, I went to a qualified mechanic and had it done for $20 inclusive.

<<If you stay with GM, you'll have a better standard 100,000 mile warranty, and you'll miss the ride and performance on their higher end models.>.
GM warranty isn't worth the paper it's printed on. Good luck with trying to get your dealer to comply.
Such warranties, while comforting, are no substitute for quality.
