Overall my 17 year old Volvo and 16 year old Saab have spent a lot more time on the road, and racked up a lot more miles than any of the domestic cars ever did between things breaking. That's not to say Saab didn't make a few turds and that the big three have never made anything good, but by and large the quality of the american stuff hasn't impressed me.
