How's the reliability been on your Tahoe so far? My cousin has a 2003 Suburban w/ the 5.3 (same as the Tahoe), and it has been a great vehicle. His girlfriend has put 80k+ miles on it in less than 3 years. Those GenIII motors are excellent. You should be able to easily get 250k out of that motor.
If properly maintained, American cars WILL last 200k+ miles. The key is routine maintenance.

I am not saying that there are not some good American cars. ANd I am nto saying there aren't some bad Foreign cars. But when you look at every class of car (outside of SUVs) basically the foreign cars dominate the lists of the top quality and reliability. I just don't blame someone for buying foreign when the option is usually to buy an inferior American version in the same class or spend a little more for a higher class Amrican car.
I basically encourage people to figure out what they can afford and buy the best car they can get at that price. Foreign or American.
