I miss Pontiac, my vibe has 300k on it, I know it's a Toyota matrix. I put 485k on my 92 grand am. When the bailout happened I said goodbye to GM. Like every other company in trouble, do your bankruptcy, reorganize, PAY your bills and recover. But no, to big to fail kicked in and now they are failing. My next vehicle will be a Ford. I know in some way they got some cash also but not like GM.
I thought that I'd always drive a US brand. However, after the slide in quality of small US cars in 2001 I switched to Hyundi mostly for the warranty. I'm on my third Accent, and they've been consistantly good about the quality, warranty, and maintenance.
I think that some Hyundis are made in the US now. Even if not, I won't leave Hyundai unless something changed dramatically. They filled the gap when there were no good options for a small US car that was well built, reasonably priced, and a good car on the road.
I did have to switch dealers once. The one I switched from had a maintenance department that couldn't resist the shennanigans to increase their profits.
