This article popped up on Yahoo news as well.
The 5 years not changing should not effect TOO many people, as it still equates to 12,000 miles a year, but some will be affected for sure. What I feel is kind of ridiculous, is GM states that after a survey, their customers told them that the 100,000 mile warranty wasn't a big selling point for buying a GM product, so that was part of the reason they reduced it.
But hello GM...
You are still working on rebuilding your reputation of quality (or lack thereof). This move will only hurt that image. Of course...it won't change my decision to buy another GM vehicle, and I know the quality is on the rise, but there is still the perception out there that GM = unreliable which needs to change.
How many customers are actually going over 60,000 miles over 5 years? Is it really THAT much? Seems negligible to me. I say keep it 100,000. Take the loss, and keep working on that quality reputation. At least the 100,000 mile warranty makes it seem like GM has faith in their powertrains.
