Since he has not actually told us why the about face on GM lets just make shit up.

I bet he took his GM car for a drive and it caught fire and wouldnt stop moving while he was in it, so he crashed into a school bus full of kids and killed them all. So now he needs to move on to Toyotas which arent known for hitting school buses while on fire and accelerating out of control

Terrible accident with the shifter and an orifice - I wouldn't want to talk about it either.

It doesnt matter what kind of car it is dropping from N to D with the engine spinning at 6k will destroy it.

incidently I was extremely scared to drive the last cobalt I rented, it made noises that I never would have expected to hear come out of a car.
most of our fleet is in the 90k range or above. we are beginning to cycle them out but its a long process
