Vehicle Manufacturer Loyalty
Posting this for the members who participate in the debates about GM quality, marketing, etc.
I guess it shows GM is doing something right. And it is from J.D. Powers, who generally is considered the most accurate and authorative regarding vehicle information/data.

I'm a GM fanatic, i have never had anything but amaizing luck with GM. At some point i'll probably own a Mk 2 VW and probably a clasic ford (but i'll put a chevy block in it.) But for a newer every day, GM is it. I would consider a toyota but it would probably end there.

GM Chevrolet all the way for me, and the reason that I changed to a Chevy was MOST probably infuenced by my hero....Dale Earnhardt was a Chevy man, he only wanted to drive Chevy's, I was 1 of Earnhardt's greatest fans, and I wanted to be like him, So I told Dale in my thoughts when he passed away that I promised that my next car WILL BE a Chevrolet...as a way to honor and remember him....and then....came Wheelie...:)...and I fulfilled my promise :)

I really like isuzu but they are kinda like a fill in brand. If you buy one of there trucks you just need something to beat the heck out of, and most of there cars seem to be kinda like a Kia for people that know cars, you want a car, but your broke as a joke. As soon as you can you move up in the world.

ISUZU needs to get out of business, They are not even building their OWN trucks, they are CHEVYS!!!!!!....I lost my respect to Isuzu the minute they killed RODEO....Isuzu is a disgrace to the japanese Auto industry...My opinion..

I've only known one person to have owned an Isuzu and he didn't have it that long. My buddy Dicky had a Rodeo like 10 or so years ago that he rolled down an embankment while going around a sharp turn. 
He lost control of it in the apex of the turn where there was no guardrail. The Rodeo flipped on him causing it to roll down the hill side over side until it hit flat. In Isuzu's defense Dicky walked away with only minor injuries and his buddy Jessie that was with him at the time ended up with a broken arm when it could have been a lot worse.
