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.

I’d bring back the VF Commodore. I’d give it the HSV Senator Signature styling in place of what the Chevrolet SS used, the LT1 and LT4 V8s (with stickshift options), and Chevrolet Infotainment 3.
Go Dodge! I realized you mentioned only the Caliber so I added these gems as well.
Raise your hand if you are surprised that. David recommended a rusty car!
You’re switching manufacturers because they got a tax break? Read more
For all its faults, the Dodge Journey is still several orders of magnitude better than any vehicle you own, David.
Sure, there is some recency bias, but the Chevy SS was/is underrated.
