Going down a Hybrid Tube

SteveDallas · 03-11-2005, 03:11 AM

My parents have practically never owned anything but a GM product. Never understood it since I've been old enough to drive--with the possible exception of a Geo Prizm, I haven't driven anything of GM's that I'd consider buying.

I've had the same experience as SD. My folks only drove Chevys and haven't had an interesting car since the Corvair (although some might call the Citation experiment interesting). I haven't owned a one. I suppose if they put a hybrid engine in an S-10 4x4 I might think about it.

Corvettes are still a good buy if your one of the few in that market. The Chevy SSR gives me a major boner but that's still expensive and unproven quality.
Cadillac has made some major improvments this year but there again expensive and unproven reliability.
That's it for GM.....no wait..there's an Aussie car they based the GTO on that is pretty cool....but you can't get 'em here.

There was a time when Chevy was safe to buy. Won't be the best, won't be the worst, but it won't totally screw you. With the price of cars and how dependent we are on them, you just can't "give it a shot and see how it works out" anymore. Too much at stake.
