They left the worst ones off the list (all GM):

- Chevy Vega (aluminum cylinder walls that wear out at 50,000 miles and the engine consums a quart of oil per 100 miles driven. Real smart GM)

- Oldmobile Cutlass (350ci gasoline engine converted to diesel. Engine blows up at 35,000 miles. Real smart GM).

- Caprice Classic (They had to do something with the vega transmissions. Nylon reverse gear goes out if trany put through to much stop and go driving. I know it is on the list. Real smart GM).

- 1984 z28 camero (anyone that owned one knows what went wrong with these things - everything. Real smart GM).

GM does not stand for Good Merchandise.

How about the idea of a Mustang on a Pinto like this example (BTW this is the nice one the butt ugly ones had a vinyl top)...

MUSTANG II - It just can't get much better than this or can it???? Notice the "Fire Chicken" on the hood!!!

Caprice Classic: "Nylon reverse gear"

You're kidding, right?

I owned a GM Vega and a GM 1980 Skylark.

I will never own another GM car.
