It's not the cars fault you misread (or misinterpreted) the model.Uncool, made me mistake it for the firebird.
Ah true, I thought that when I typed it but I still find the car uncool, looks are unappealing and stats just don't help at all. I looked at the original Grand Ams and now this car reminds me of the Dodge Dart, in the way that it has the same name as a classic car, but is completely different and unappealing in almost every way (again, imo). Therefore I find the car uncool.It's not the cars fault you misread (or misinterpreted) the model.
GM Logic: Make a car very cheap and unreliable, and expect it to sell like hotcakes.These are damn piles of garbage.
After working on about a thousand of the things in the last year, how GM could make a car so horrendous and selling millions is beyond me.
And crazy as it seems, it tends to work. Reliable, cheap transportation that doesnt last too long but seems to sell seems to work for them. Entry level cars on their end are, as much as i hate to say it, pretty bulletproof.GM Logic: Make a car very cheap and unreliable, and expect it to sell like hotcakes.
90's Cavaliers especially. Compared to Japanese compacts, and even other domestic ones (Neon, Escort) it was a crapbox, and felt cheaper and was less reliable. Still, it outsold the Neon and Escort.And crazy as it seems, it tends to work. Reliable, cheap transportation that doesnt last too long but seems to sell seems to work for them.

To be fair, GM engines are bulletproof. They can take a lot of punishment. For example, the LA1 used in this Grand Am, the Impala and a couple of other GM cars can take 400 HP on the stock internal components, and LS1 engines are used in high-power builds.90's Cavaliers especially.

But I also don't understand why when Geo was phased out, the Prism has badged as a Chevrolet. Seemed a bit odd when Toyota was selling the same car. I didn't see any reason for a "Chevy Prism".I never understood why anyone would buy one when the Prizm/Corolla existed. I still see a few of those diving around compared to the Cavalier which I haven't seen in years.
