The electronic rear differential in my wife's Honda pilot was replaced at 22,000 miles and the transmission was modified (under a recall) at about 12,000 miles.
This supports your observation of a quality stigma, people think that the hondas and toyotas are a little better than they really are and that the american cars are a little worse than they really are (except for that ford crap, I hate fords  ).

Sammy, no doubt you are in the minority. My Dakota 4 x 4 was in the shop 8 times before I traded it at 40,000 miles for my Tacoma 4 x 4, which I have only changed the tires and oil after 70,000 miles.
Dad's put over 200 k on all four of his previous Accords (my brother just junked his last one at 325,000 miles due to a slipping tranny).
I will NEVER EVER EVER EVER buy a car from the big three again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I could give a rats's arse about the UAW. I love and have served our country, but the big three lost my respect in the early 80's and I could care less what happens to them.
