Always keep in mind this: GM sells vehicles to sell and make money. Toyota builds them with quality. People are realising this and that is why they are gaining on GM as far as #1 car maker. The fact that you can spend a bit more on a Toyota and have it last twice as long is quite worth it. Dodge seems to have tranny problems sometimes, but SRT4 has a getrag tranny, so no need to worry there. I've never heard of a bad getrag.
