We all drive GM products here and GM has long used AC Delco brand parts. I have to believe considerable research was done before GM chose this brand. They are made to GM's standards. I have used only a couple of other brands once or twice in my many years but have always came back to AC. The AC plugs in my 2 97 trucks are said to be good for 100,000 miles. From the looks of them I believe they will do that and more.
In the end I feel like if AC is good enough for the General it's good enough for me. That's my opinion on it!

I have all GM products with the exception of my wifes KIA, which happens to be one of the best cars I have ever owned. This doesn't make me an outsider as your opinion would suggest. I ran Champion, AC, and Autolite for a while. I switched to NGK because after looking at them and comparing them to each other, NGK was better constructed. The insulators don't crack as easily either. In my experience if you just tweak the insulators on Champion, AC and Autolite, they crack. Yes , I use the right rubber insulated socket. NGK also happens to be the most used sparkplug worldwide.

I love GM just as much as you do, but I got tired of throwing my money away on (in my experience) a cheaply made product. Not the car or truck, the sparkplug. It tears me up when I see and read about how poorly American companies have been managed recently and the corners they have cut. Not just GM either. When these companies put the quality back in their product, I will buy it. (I.E. sparkplugs.)

It's a damn shame too, because GM is making the best vehicles they have ever made in their entire history. Despite the sparkplugs they use, I will always buy GM. As a matter of fact, I am looking at a Pontiac G8 for my wife right now and will probably buy one when I can afford it. If it has anything other than NGK spark plugs in it, I will change them.
