how so? those cars listed did just as much damage to us automakers reps as their own fuck ups... prior to Toyota and Honda... 100K was a HUGE mark... you'd rarely own a vehicle past 100k cause 1. it wouldn't last much longer... 2. it took a HUGE hit to it's value. I'd say Toyota and Honda are the reason that's no longer the case.
shit I haven't bought a truck in the last 5 years that had UNDER 100k (yes all toyota's) go back to the 80's... I'd be wear'n a straight jacket.

I don't get rid of a Honda or Toyota until after they've had 200,000 miles.
In Sixxxer's defense, this is what Toyota and Honda were producing at the time GM was producing the Vega:
At the Corolla Toyota and Accord Honda was producing during the X cars:
And the Camry Toyota Accord Honda was producing during the Saturn years:
Toyota and Honda have been kicking Ford, GM, and Chrysler's ass for decades.
