I used to be quite fanatic about GM for a while, but now I prefer a Fiat engine simply because it has a timing chain instead of wet belt. No wonder so many conservative Brazilians tend to buy Fiat nowadays...

GM should now be avoided like the plague IMHO, but only ~1% of people know that, so...
Had it not been for the wet belt, I would still be more favorable to GM.

I wonder what their wet belt is made of!?
Most likely made out of Buna-N, reinforced internally with Kevlar.
