Nice thing about American cars is that when things go wrong, parts are cheap and everybody and their mother knows how to work on them. (You can get front brake rotors for a Vette at NAPA for like $28!)

Please see my above, lol. Yes, I know that BMW is very expensive if anything breaks. Not even the parts always, just the privelidge of swilling their coffee while they work on your vehicle. It is my OPINION that this is why they began including service-plans with Mercedes and then BMW, because people shied away from them a few years ago because of this.
If I buy BMW/Porsche, it will be CPO with an extended warranty. Also, up next is a house, so it won't be for another 5-7 years. I like my 370Z quite enough to keep it that long.
American cars have GREAT! drive-lines now days. Interior bits and pieces are mainly what die in my experience, and if the driveline bits die, it's usually simple and cheap like you say.
