They went from hot rod engines in the 1930s to 1950s; to gutless, troublesome boat anchors in the 1980s. It's sad that they resorted to Chevy and Oldsmobile engines under to the hood in order to find something that runs decent and goes down the road.
And then in the 1990s, the Northstar oil guzzler debuted, another product they tried to ignore the warranty on and wouldn't stand behind. Shows what they thought of their customers.
The "because we're big" and "because we can" attitude is what led GM to bankruptcy once and Chrysler twice.
It's no wonder so many traditional buyers turned to Honda and Toyota in the 1990s.
