I would never think it possible for a domestic to make 200,000+>>

Just about any car these days (meaning within the last 10-15 years)that is well maintained will make 200,000 miles without much difficulty...foreign or domestic. Lubricants are far better today than they were 25-30+ years ago. My dad just picked up a 93 Buick Roadmaster a couple weeks ago, LT1 5.7 V8, immaculate condition inside/out with 163,000 miles. We plan on taking it traveling in a couple of months.
