I of course have have to nominate the Buick GNX, a grandma’s car that can beat the Corvette of the era with 2 fewer cylinders.

The obvious answer is the original modern EV: the GM EV-1
Not a car perse, but I always thought GM could bring Pontiac back as a tesla fighter, Pontiac was the excitement division (not that it really was all the time lol), usually featured tech not found on other gm’s, and gosh I miss pontiac.. Read more
General Motors should bring Pontiac back as a sporty EV brand.
If it weren’t for the fact that it is a Chevy Cavalier, this would be a screaming deal:
Land yachts still exist, but they’re all BOF SUVs now. Read more
I always thought these (and some of the other S-Class/Maybach) wheels looked like absolute dogshit:
Forgot about these awful CRX wheels:
The SC430 had some terrible wheels, but this one takes the cake. My parents actually have this car in purple, and even though I never drive it, I went and got the different hub caps for my dad to save him the embarrassment
Get out.
The Pontiac G8 and Chevy SS never sold well when new. Blame it on inadequate marketing buzz from GM? But of course these days, 10 years later, good examples are selling for almost the original MSRP.
Not only the Fiero, but every other could-have-been sports car that GM handicapped because of the overly sensitive Corvette stans.
Agreed. Saturn was so much more than a division. It represented an effort to change the culture of GM. Ultimately, I think GM was too entrenched in the old ways to benefit from the existence of Saturn. Saab could have been the premium equivalent.
I love Oldsmobiles and big broughamy luxobarges, so it gets my seal of approval.
how about a CT-6? AWD. GORGEOUS (IMO), has the GM 3.6 liter which is really reliable... and back seat space for days. Plus a 2019 can be had near new for that budget.
So many great submissions. I’ll just add the P71 Police Interceptor. It has had a very long career.
A “Free Jeep” is only free to acquire. Nothing about that POS is going to be free to make it usable. And after spending money and time to make it usable, you’ll still have a rusty POS. The correct answer was “pass, thank you”.
Best built Pontiac in the modern era, sure, but best overall?
Right. GM doesn’t keep “doing well” by running a plant that makes things that people don’t want. Read more
Thank God for Michigan - couldnt imagine my GT4 with a front plate.
