...so true....THERE IS NOTHING in the ENTIRE GM line that I would consider except a GMC truck (Chevy has managed to F&%K thier trucks up as well (IMG:

I saw several of the most BUTT UGLY cars EVER MADE today...all new...Malibu's I think....I don't even pay attention any more....but these caught my eye because they were new....GM must have GIVEN THEM AWAY...
THEY SHOULD BE EMBARRASSED TO EVEN PUT THE FREAKIN BOWTIE ON THOSE DAMN PIECES O' CRAP....

While I agree with you that most of the product offering is pretty bad, I must say at least they are getting a lot better. The new Cobalt and G6 are LEAGUES above the cars they replaced and the new new Malibu Maxx is a pretty decent car. Yet, you are right as I will never consider owning any of them though (IMG:

Another good article today comparing the Mustang vs. Camaro
Camaro vs. Mustang: A Test of Endurance
http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Colum...rticleId=105414I don't agree with the writer's conclusion of the new GTO though. While the '04 didn't sell very well at all, the '05s are selling 125% better. The projections are for it to run through it's production by mid-summer and if you have noticed you can hardly find any on dealer lots (i.e. a good thing)
