I voted for GM as a whole, but I remain a little optimistic for Cadillac and the new Pontiac GTO. The rest of GM is in dire need of an enema.

HEY! Who changed my poll options? :squint:

I left "GM" off on purpose, because the design isn't handled by one design team, it's a whole bunch of little teams of morons. If you are gonna change my options, atleast add Nissan, which I forgot....

so anyways, i voted for toyota. vote toyota! i hate them.
Volvo's new S60-R = :thumbup:

Will do. I just wanted to offer an option to those who didn't just hate Chrevrolet or Pontaic, etc. but rather all of them. Nissan added as well.

Those little different design teams all get their funds and approvals from one core group. The fit and finnish does not vary greatly between a Pontiac, a Buick, or a Chevy (they all suck). They use all the same engines, and to me all the cars handle and feel the same. If you swap a bumper from a Buick Regal it will bolt right on to a Pontiac Grand Prix. Might not look right, but the cars in general are about as androgenous as the SNL character "Pat". Sans Corvette and Caddy XLR.

Had GM Group been an option from the beginning, it would have had my vote, as opposed to Chevy exclusively.

Worst is Mitsu's new line-up. All the new designs are hideous. I can only hope that the next Eclipse won't suffer the same fate as the Galant/Diamante/etc...

Chevy, Ford, and Hyundai round out the list.

Of the GM brands Pontiac has got to be the worst. Remember, they brought us the Aztec.

Their over reliance on plastic is sickning. That's saying nothing about the over use of buttons and the overall bulky designs.

yeah, I forgot about the interior on Gm cars. I think Pontiac is the worst with over use of buttons. I remember reading a review of the Bonneville when it was new in Car and Driver and they stated that whoever designed the interior must have had an obsession with gray plastic buttons, hehe

Toyota is stupid, they got rid of the Supra and now they have no good supercar, they screwed themselves out of the import market. They turned their backs on ricers and all they market is all this hybrid/big family car BS. They are stupid and they suck.
