Domestics have a very odd aftermarket. Sure, you've got you Camaro, Mustang, Corvette, etc. aftermarket, but then there's the generic aftermarket. For instance...if you bought a set of 350 heads you could slap them on almost any 350 out there...whether it's a truck or a Camaro or an Impala SS (the old school Caprice-bodied ones...not the candy ass new ones). There's SOOOOOO much stuff that isn't model specific. Then there's stuff that isn't even brand or engine specific. No matter which way you cut it the domestic aftermarket dwarfs the import aftermarket at the moment. But imports are still young in the relative scheme of automotive performance so that may change in coming years. As for reliability...I won't even get into it because we could turn this into a 20 page thread debating that. But you're right about styling...that's 100% subjective. Can't tell someone they're wrong if they think a car looks good.
