********That would be a change. Cadillac has been a pot of crap for a number of years. Corvette is superb for the price.
Hard to say where the truth lies here. Yes there were problems. Toyota says that if you change your oil regularly there is no problem. Also, there may have been some PCV modifications to prevent this. I have researched it carefully, and find that there is some doubt still about what really happened.
I can say that the Toyota is quiet, smooth, comfortable and economical. It is much more roadcomfortable than any GM I have driven lately.
Also drove a Passat. It drove wonderfully, similar to the Toyota.
Havent tried Honda yet. I know they had some tranny problems...Know why?? Because people didnt service them at the proper interval. Son has a couple, one of which had a tranny failure at 90,000 miles. The tranny shop told him it had never been serviced...and since they dont have filters, you MUST service them on schedule... whether true or not is up to you to comment.
Facts ARE however that GM has made a ton of crap, and has not bellied up and made good on it... the 3.4 engines with gasket and DexCool problems, the 3800 with plenum problems, and a whole host of other crappo deals.
GM needs to straighten up or belly up.
