But what I was referring to was the powertrain. I believe that the mechanical duribility will be superior in the Daimler & Chrysler vehicles over the long haul. Besides Chrysler has a lifetime powertrain warranty, so you can bet their banking on long term reliability & durability. And from my experience they have always had strong powertrains. They had quality problems in the past, but the powertrains have always been strong.
Thanks Antonio, I just wanted to be clear on what you meant. I can't say I agree with ya, because I've had Hondas with over a 1/4 of million miles on them with no mechanical problems. But on the same token I have a 99 Chevy Van with over 260k on it. But it's been in the shop many times because of a lot of stupid things wearing out, or needing replaced that never did go wrong on the Hondas. Of course my 1992 Honda Civic's body did eventually disintegrate.
