I've only owned one GM...a 1975 Buick Regal with the Buick V8--DAMN! I missed that lawsuit ,too! I was so proud of that car...first new car bought with MY OWN MONEY! Salesman was cool, very patient and helpful. Think he got a kick out of it too. The day I picked it up I looked over the silver paint (that hadn't started the peel and reveal yet) and the landau top in GENUINE faux leather (remember those?). Opened the door to get that 'new car smell' and give my Mom a ride home...and the door panel stuck in the jam, pulled off as the door opened and the door light fell out on the ground and shattered into pieces. It stayed at the dealership for 4 days for the repair. After the initial problem, and the paint peeling off (twice), and the transmission being replaced (shifted into neutral when it damn well felt like it) I was never quite a GM fan again.
