Don’t be so sure. They made the Northstar engine didn’t they? The Vega? Never underestimate GM’s ability to eff things up.

True, kind of what Obama said about Biden LOL.

I bought five GM vehicles from 1989-2010. The last one was in the shop more than any vehicle I ever had. The rear tailgate chrome strip came loose after about three weeks of ownership and it was downhill from there.

Maintained it religiously but still needed a new engine (thank God it was replaced under warranty) at 31,000 miles.

The computer module for the infotainment system failed about a month after the bumper-to-bumper warranty expired.

Started using quarts of oil every 1,000 miles or so around 89K so I got rid of it and will never buy from them again.

they also made the small block v8, the 4.3 v6 version of it, and the 3800 6-cyl ... some of the finest engines ever made.
