Maybe it's me, I see more steering lock failures than rotor replacement/resurface threads.

Sorry we are not responsible for your bad luck.

Also judging by the resale value of Japanese vehicles and American vehicles, I would say most don't agree with you that American cars hold up better.
Probably has something to do with the fact that America can produce tens of thousands of mustangs a year and Japan can only crap out 5,000 370's or so. You will also note that the current mustang gt's are more reliable cars than the current 370Z according to every survey you can find. I'm finding that to be the case, myself. None of my friends with 5.0 GT's have had issues, and some of them are quite spirited with the cars.

No, you're not responsible, but I'm not going to jerk the car off like the rest of you just because I drive one. I'll call it for what it is--shoddy engineering with a pretty wrapper.
