I have owned both GM and Chrysler products, and currently have a Chevy Suburban. After my Chrysler experience about 10 years ago I vowed never to buy another Chrysler product (two catastrophic brake failures and a transmission going out at under 100,000 miles). I like the Chevy, but no, in view of GM being rebadged Government Motors, I will not buy another GM product.

Don't own either-----had a Mazda that saved my life in a major accident, not my fault-----I walked away with only torn stockings-----car was replaced, but protected me from being killed. After the Mazda I went searching, drove everything possible----ended up with a Lexus that still purrs like a dream after 11 years----wouldn't junk it or trade it---it still gets about 36 mpg on highway. The only thing missing is the Sirius/XM radio system----but I can live with a CD player, tape deck and the regular radio. If you are buying new-----the Sirius Satellite system is a part of the car. Now to GM and Chrysler--------------if I were choosing one over the other I might consider Chrysler if Fiat (Fiaty) comes in to help with design-----would wait to see what Fiat does before buying Chrysler. You didn't ask about Ford---------would very likely go with Ford over either GM or Chrysler.

I own a Dodge Dakota, probably going to get a Ford F150 next time if gas is below $4 a gallon, but I'll run my Dodge as long as it is still economical. That could be at least five more years. It's 2002, I have 80,000 miles on it and it is still in good shape. Spent only about $600 on it (mostly brakes and tires) in last two years.
