Like you I feel my particular model was well designed, offers trouble-free dependability and still looks stylish. Naturally it is no longer offered.

Personally, amputating the lines that are profitable, (eg Saturn, Hummer, Saab) seems the most obdurately vapid moves for the long term, but if one is left with myopic management (when there ought to be leadership) GM seems doomed to follow DeSoto and Nash.
