Sad/disgusting! Autos are the second most expensive thing most people
will buy (housing is the first) and yet most people don't know jack
shit about what is good or bad. Can you blame the corporations,
just doing plain ol' capitalism (greed) to profit from this? Yeah,
well *I* do!!!!

A diehard GM fan, the only cars I would consider now are f-bodies and
'vettes. a real, new Suburban is just too much $$$ cause of the yuppies,
everything else is a FWD POS. OK, a caddy STS might be cool.

It wouldn't be so bad if they were putting out decent cars, but GM is mostly
FWD *and* POS. At least Chrysler, while the bulk of its auto product line
is FWD, seems to be putting the quality engineering they founded their
initial success on!
