I changed 600 timing belts in that same POS car.
The clutches were junk too.
They really should put it back in the ground.

“I changed 600 timing belts in that same POS car.”

Probably the WORST engine ever in American cars. It seemed that no one at GM knew that aluminum melts at a temperature far lower than steel.

...and given the story about the EV Camaro this morning, it seems GM still has the same management team.

It seems they really weren’t into this stunt, or they would have buried a Corvette. On the other hand, it was an interesting way to get rid of the stupid thing. Yellow? Heap on more bad taste.

Was it as bad as the VW “THING”? I bought one, in 1975, right off the show room floor. Within weeks it began to fall apart. And I DO mean fall apart. Got rid of it a few months later and got a Jeep.
