personally i think people need to quit perpetuating the myth that american cars have stopped sucking.
in many respects GM has either not improved or gotten worse. even disregarding stupid engineering decisions- things like jamming the fusebox in a half inch from the serpentine built, mounting the ECM to a flimsy battery cover, whatever. shit like that makes me want to smack their engineers. but my biggest problem is that they still feel like they're contracting for the government- they're using the 'lowest bidder' policy and then some. everything that can be cheaped out on, is. seats worse than the cheapest econo cars, sheetmetal with razorblade edges, et al. and they don't even try to hide it. what's that, a faux leather-wrapped wheel? no, it's a big hunk of hard plastic that they didn't even bother to try and make seem appealing to look at or comfortable in your hands.
and i still wouldn't piss on a chrysler if it was on fire. no reason to even get into that one, there's just simply nothing appealing coming from that company.
