Hey, Scott, brains aren't everything. In fact in your case they're nothing. Quit trying so hard, if you like the Cabbage-Patch equivalent of a car, that’s ok! You’ll fit in just fine with the rest of the zit faced freaks.quote:

I was under the impression they were nothing more than a cosmetically restyled Dodge Neon, and we all know what a hunk of crap that car is.quote:

It might be more than skin deep.
My friends PT Cruiser feels like a real solid well built car, even on rough roads. Neons I've been in, even low mileage ones always felt like a bunch of parts flying in close formation.
Actually the Scion fits in better at the bath house.quote:

Of course GM has, and they did not treat their customers as well when it was GM's fault. I know and admit this fact. What bothers me is that he (and the myriad of other "bashers" on this site) cannot/will not accept/believe the FACT that I, nor anyone I know has had these (or any, really) problems with the General's products. Although I do maintain my ride maniacally, I also beat the pi$$ out of it much more than any Camry/Corolla owner ever could/would to their "appliance"!
Alas, most of the bashing is not isolated "recreational" bashing. Most of these people are folks who've taken it hard on the chin having trusted GM, and feel badly let down. How do you expect someone to feel about GM when they have an engine meltdown resulting from a defect GM knew full well about at the time they built the car, but they tell the owner to pack sand because the meltdown doesn't finally strike until 10k miles post wty? In my case, it was a rash of small-to-medium problems that finally broke my confidence in the product. I have observed, and will readily acknowledge that GM has been making big strides toward better quality -- that's great. OTOH, don't expect working guys who had to unjustly dip into their pockets to the tune of thousands of dollars to keep their cars running to quickly forget. Contrast Toyota's behavior when things go wrong with their cars (hey, I never said ANY car maker has made a perfect product...). Look at the early 07 V-6 Camry thing -- the most painful thing their customers are experiencing are the hickeys all over their butts!!! Toyota is providing free service loaners, making car payments until the owner's trans is made right, and they're throwing in complementary 100k extended warranties to make up for the trouble. Now, there's a company that's serious about keeping customers happy no matter what. Toyota bends over backwards for its customers while GM has a sad history of bending its customers over forward. . .
Ed, you need to get the new age English Language dictionary.
I agree. There are significant numbers of brainwashed fools who have been programmed to hate domestic cars, no matter what evidence is placed before them. Actually, in the end, I pity people like this, for any number of reasons. Then there are people who've personally experienced expensive let downs or outright disaster with GM products. I pity them too, but for entirely different reasons. They know the score, and they're still anxious to get some payback by telling anyone who'll listen (and many who'd rather not...) their story. These are the folks that GM needs to be worried about, IMO.
