Quite a lot of GM's on this list. What say you, 101?

TommyHotWheel · 03-09-2011, 06:38 PM

That list is very broad for the years listed. But if you think about the volume of vehicles made during that time period, its not that bad. I do agree that most of those vehicles were complete and utter shitboxes.

One thing I'll say is that there really is only a couple GM models being represented here. The Colorado, Canyon, and H3 are all on the same chassis. You'll notice that it's the 4WD models that are the problem.

Plus several other multiple models are in fact the same vehicle.

I say most of those models are history. Look to the future slice!

Al is correct...many of those are on the same chassis.

I'm surprised about the Impala...

If you notice, it's the V8 model, so the old body style, back when it was a full size car.

When I was car shopping I test drove a CTS, STS, Impala SS, Grand Prix GTP and a Buick. I ended up buying the 08 Caddy STS, but the Impala was hella fast for a big car.

You and I have different taste in cars but i can definitely see an Impala SS as an entertaining car.
