GM went bankrupt because in 1997 the Malibu was the car of the year. That stunt emptied their coffers.

I remember buying the very first issue of Automobile magazine and it featured a Toyota MR2 verses a Ferrari 308/328.

Of course car magazines are biased towards advertisers.
Remember the C&D cover story "road test contest" between a Ferrari 250 GTO and something from Royal Oak Pontiac which they called a "Pontiac GTO". It had at least a 421 HO motor, probably an aluminum block "drag race" special but C&D didn't do a displacement test.
 
I was in a new civic two weeks ago. Cool looking but very uncomfortable for my old body. Have you driven a new civic?

Well, I can tell you first hand, my Camry is a lot more comfortable than a new Civic.
 
Yes, I test drove a new Civic. It was a 2016 Civic LX automatic. Took it on the hwy and the driving experience is just like the old ones. Kind of loud and a very firm ride. Power delivery is, meh. It is very different than a Camry. Not that the Civic is a bad car by means. Apples and oranges. It made the 2012 Camry feel like a Lexus LS430.
