Part of the reason is they do alot of highway miles (over 15k a year) and they only have 1 car each so I wanted a AMERICAN car with a good warranty so if any problems do come up they are covered. When it comes time for them to get another car I will now look at Ford and Dodge as well. Just going off of what I did with their cars and what I will now do in the future tells me that this decision by GM will in fact hurt sales. The warranty most certainly was a deciding factor when getting their cars despite what GM said.

103K on the '10 SS currently.
292K on the '07 Sierra company truck.

All reflects on how GM's drivetrain quality is perceived.

If they are, indeed building a quality product, the 100K mi. warranty should only make them look even more confident in their product, therefore generate more sales.

Honda and Toyota don't need a "wow' warranty, because customers are confident in the quality of their product. GM still has to earn that reputation in certain areas.

100% Agree and is exactly what I was saying.
