Also had an 06 Vette that we owned for 3 years. Had 22k on it but never any problems. No gaps in body panels or pain issues. Actually the paint seemed better than my 370z.

I too had a stigma about domestics but these two cars really proved me wrong. Maybe we just got lucky or maybe not.

I wouldn't even count the power window motor going out. Its ultra common on that era pontiac. A friend of mine has 45,000 miles on his car and has replaced the power window motors 4 times.

Summing up and ending this entire thread:

All cars have some sort of problem. If you are cross-shopping two and you truly do your research, you will find issues with literally every car out there. They are not perfect.

Seeing people say "well X had a problem with this car and X didn't have a problem with this car" is utterly silly. Just because one person has (or doesn't have) a problem doesn't mean you will be in the same situation.

Just buy a car based on how it feels to you and what you think -you- can handle. Do your own research and stop being a keyboard/magazine jockey who tattoos brand on their arm like a badge of honor.

The older generations (before GenY and GenX) are very brand-loyal people, as a rule. Some people will tattoo a brand name on their arm--literally. I am not subject to this mentality, however, and am loyal to what works. I have owned fords, GM's, and now am getting into imports. Everything about imports seems better to me, from interior, to service, to durability, everything. I drove a 370Z today and was blown away wiht hte feel of the car (except the clutch. Horrible)
