Our last GM car was a Chevette. It was a disaster: noisy, uncomfortable, a 30,000 mile (48,000 km) clutch, tolerable efficiency.

My wife hated the car and I got tired of replacing the clutch every 18 months.

It hurts everyone's budget and sometimes is paid for in blood.

I think GM is capable of designing and making better cars but they have trouble getting them to the showroom floor. I've test driven the Saturn VUE green and don't need to repeat that experience.
