All 5 makes where the holy grail of the auto industry.

Well GM, today you can go to hell with all your producing expensive junk,
then convince the public to buy into it, then today, recall 80% of everything you make.

Remember when the word Cadillac could be used in the same sentence as Lexas?

Also, if Corvettes, (the only reliable car from GM) where smart, they would break away from GM and become their own company.

Your Thoughts
Other than 50 years ago, I have not owned an American car (overpriced and under designed) except for company cars when working. I favor Japanese Lexus, but have had Audi, Volkswagen & Fiat. The great American cars of the 50s & 60s were not perpetuated in the 70s, 80s, 90s & 2000s. Some where around 2000, American auto makers woke up and began developing competition for the Japanese cars.
