As Time magazine once said,

“Everything that was wrong, venal, lazy and mendacious about GM in the 1980s was crystallized in this flagrant insult to the good name and fine customers of Cadillac.”

A perfect example. And a perfect example of what was wrong; take a piece-of-junk marketed as a Chevy, stick some badges on it and claim it was an upscale Cadillac.
