IMO American and Japanese cars can last...it all comes down to regular maintenance, driving habits, and luck. I have seen every exception to the rule. I know of an 86 dodge pickup with the 360 v8 with over 250,000 miles on it on the original engine and transmission. Still runs good too. My truck has 152,000 miles, and it still runs good (original engine and transmission). Are they perfect? No. I have also seen imports that have lasted long, and also imports that havent lasted long. To generalize and say that american OR imports can't last or run forever isn't a fair asumption, because there is always an exception.
