GM has proven they can build quality cars...their executives may be $h!t but the designers, engineers, and production workers (not all of which are greedy and "lazy") are who really make the car And they are doing a damn fine job. If you would like proof of their ability to make an "attractive" car that "anyone would buy" just ask Car and Driver, Motortrend, J.D. Power and Associates, Consumer Guide, and any current owner of a GM car, myself included. I'm sorry financial decisions of the company is what you base your purchasing of a car on.
