It takes real QUALITY to offer and honor a 100k drive train warranty.
Manufacturers care about sales, not quality.
Sorry, but I think your comment about not caring about quality is far from the case. It is hard to maintain sales without quality.
Outside of those that troll the internet for horror stories of catastrophic failure of their favorite brand to bash, it is unusual to hear about a powertrain failure before 100,000 miles. I think that number is MUCH closer to 200,000 miles now. Regardless of manufacture. Quality matters, and across the board it is pretty good.
All of you saying you don't hear of many powertrain failures in the first 100,000 miles must not know any Acadia, Enclave, or Traverse owners. I rarely bash but in this case GM deserves it. The Lamba line of vehicles are built with Yugo quality.
