Hmmm....I'll just have to state that experience shows that imports last longer than domestics I guess.

Oh well.....thought I could get more help here...but I see there isn't much help top give.

Thanks anyway!

I hate to admit it but gm 3.8l v6 is probably one of their best motors out there. I've seen a number go till 200+.

Its usually the car that breaks first.

you know..

dorrs and the floor falling out.. seatbacks giving up.

that sort of shit.

your topic is too subjective and cant be backed with hard facts.

for example, my dad has a GMC van with a short block V8....300k miles and counting.

and screw the stupid people who say imports get better mileage than domestics...a Z06 gets better mileage than my G35, and similar mileage to the S2000!

I'm thinking maybe he should change it to disprove the myth maybe? :dunno:

That would be a better topic in my opinion.
