I have owned more GM vehicles than any other make. They included a 70 Buick (first car), two pickups (98 and 00), an 2000 Cavalier and a 2004 Impala. The Buick was a good car, the 98 truck got totalled in 2000, the 2000 pickup had various problems, the Cavalier was a POS, but I didn’t have any problems with the Impala.

Today I own three vehicles. 2007 Nissan Titan, 2008 VW New Beetle Convertible, and a 1969 VW Beetle Convertible. the 2008 VW is just months old, so I have no opinion yet, but I really like the Titan, and I LOVE my little bug.

GM really needs to do something. You can go to different GM brands and get the same car at greatly different prices. When I bought the Impala I also looked at the LeSabre. Same size car, same options, etc. but the Impala was priced same as the mid-sized Buick Century. My Dad bought the LeSabre in 2004 and I couldn’t tell the difference in the ride, handling etc. between his Buick and my Chevy. Why make three or more different versions of the same car? Same with the other two automakers. A Ford is a Mercury is a Lincoln just different prices. And Chrysler/Dodge.

Plus Plymouth, if they still market that.
