other than POS, that is?

The only thing really wrong with those cars was the GM tendency to make
junk parts and cheat on everything. The sheetmetat was crap, the plastic
parts weren't made right (and the managers at the production plants lied
about it) quality control was about par with a Soviet factory, etc.
The design wasn't too bad, they got decent milage, and if not made from
trash they'd have been decent cars for 1980.
I've heard that GM finally learned not to make cars form junkyard parts,
but I'll believe it when I see one 25 years old with 300,000 miles on it
working well with minimal mechanicing, like my Benz.
