It seems to me that this car has 2 weak links.

What clutch problem are you referring to exactly?
One would think on a car this "old" (generation-wise) that it would be free of such issues - esp one as important as the clutch.
Also, no TSB's on it?

My clutch pretty much disinigrated after only 7,000 miles. I've heard many that have had the same thing happen... I certainly didn't drive it in a way that would cause it either.

like this...
the clutch lining was literally SHREDDED off the clutch plate. I have no idea how the hell that could happen short of burning the clutch off on purpose, which of course i didn't do. i actually went down to the dealership to inspect the damage, they said it just got to hot. looks to me like the clutch is not designed to handle the torque delievered by the engine.
