10 Cars That Damaged GM's Reputation
|
Thats definitely a list of some of the worst cars ever built. The couple that Ive ridden in or driven on that list definitely deserve to be on there.
|
Hahahahahhaa the chevette?? that was a shitbox. My mom had the Caddy cimmaron, that thing was always breaking down. another POS
|
I always liked the look of the Vega, but they were a POS. However with a 400 SB and stout drive train they were a hoot!
|
Really though, my dad was a professional mechanic for the last 35 years and I was literally raised up in his shop. The same could be said about all domestic auto makers. I can list you a few repeats and new additions from Ford, GM, Chrysler...
Chevrolet - Citation, Cavalier, Beretta Ford/Merc/Lincoln - Festiva, Fairlane/Grenada/Zephyr, Escort, T Bird/Cougar Dodge / Chrysler - Lebaron, K Car, Horizon, Neon, really most of their sedan line up. Remember the Cordoba? Thankfully most of these autos were so poorly built we didn't have to endure them for long... |
10 Cars That Damanged US Auto Maker's Reputation?
Toyota Camry
Toyota Corolla Toyota Tercel Honda Accord Honda Civic Nissan Maxima Nissan Altima Nissan Sentra Mitsubishi Galant Mazda MX-6... Can I list more than 10? |
Should have added the 95-05 Pontiac Sunfire to the list..........Total POS. The rear suspension wasn't independant, so it shuddered like a pickup truck in bumpy corners. Also if you tried to look over your shoulder before changing lanes, you wouldn't see shit because of the bodywork in the way.

Bottom line is they have built shit vehicles for decades and passed them off because there was no viable alternative. They really did sell out for short term greed, and that is where the Japanese always win. They look at the long term and have slowly out paced the domestics. First they srtove to compete then they strove to dominate. GM, Chrysler, Ford deserve to reap what they have sown... |
Looking back on the 80's and 90's, GM, Ford and Chysler put some entertaining cars on the road.
Only problem was they were off the road once 80K was on the odo. |

I remember when Cavalier Z-24's (late 80's) with a 5spd and the 2.8 were pretty respectable. May not have been the most reliable cars but were relatively fun for the time period. |
