The worst crime against the automotive industry was the Chebby Volt. This, followed by Imam Obama’s Cash for Clunkers program.

Don’t forget the shipping of so many old (and RARE) cars to China for conversion into Wal Mart products.

Side note A few years back I did a frame off on a 79 F250 and was shocked as to how limited the pickins had become since my last project around 2000. Here in AZ those trucks used to be like water in a lake. Perfect rust free bodies/running gear with sun rotted interiors. Now they are all but gone.

Yes, GM made some boneheaded blunders over the years, like selling the Buick 215 V8 to British Leyland (the engines in the Range Rovers are based on this 50+yr-old design) and of course the Vega. But at least with the Vega you could use the original engine as a boat anchor and drop a good built-up small block in it, beef up the drivetrain and have a nice bad-a** street rod. But GM outdid themselves with the Volt, and I've always sworn by GM, sometimes swore AT GM, but when they screw up they do it big time.
