Chevrolet DID sell a car that the engine wore out in less than 60k miles. It was the Vega and a disaster for Chevrolet.

Were the Chevette and Citation that much better?

...Vega...

Was that the aluminum block engine? Guy had one in college, and it would barely haul 5 guys the 3 miles or so to McDs.

The Oldsmobile Diesel and the Cadillac 8/6/4 also spring to mind...

My sister would pay me 50 cents a day to add 2 quarts of oil to her Vega so she could drive the 8 mile round trip to school, work and home. It used almost as much moto oil as gas.
