I agree with you whole-heartedly. Chevy stuck me with the poorly designed Monza; when I was in college. I paid a lot of money (for me) when I could least afford a bad car. This car went through 2 engines, 2 transmissions, doors re-hung 3x and was generally unreliable until I dropped it off at the salvage yard with 75,000 miles on it. I'll never buy another Chevy again.... I'm making a good living now, and currently drive fairly expensive cars .... but I won't consider a Chevy at any price, under any condition. I'm still open to Ford, though....

You owned a Monza, eh?

Wasn't that the GM car, introduced about 1975, where the first ones off the line were designed so that the engine had to be lifted from the body to change the sparkplugs? Or maybe a fender panel had to be remvoed?

No, I'm not joking. I remember a fraternity brother who bought one, and I remember the Saturday morning he trudged back into the house after going to the parking lot to change his plugs -- and finding he couldn't reach 'em.

I was about 20, but I learned a few choice new words from him that day.
