Are they vehicles you'd want to buy?

The sedans have been reported to have terrible unaddressed QC issues and still offer little to nothing in RWD, and are reported to look and feel really "cheap", in the literal and perjorative sense (ESPECIALLY in their interiors) though the wow factor still seems to exist in the pickup trucks, Cadillacs, though I saw my first CRX new stationwagon on the highway near Hollywood CA last week, when I was there, and I almost threw up, it was so ugly.

Whether they would be reliable enough to outlast the payment book is unclear.

I saw a late 80's Chevy Corsica -- anyone remember those? -- on the highway in downtown LA last week, too... A car designed to be thrown away after a few years... this ragged worn out looking one, still kept barely running by someone, yet mint W123 1977-1985 Mercedes Benz 240 and 300 diesels are VERY common down in Los Angeles --- so durable, long lived, and well built and commonly seen plying So Cal roads, as to be unremarkable..

I think stubborn brand loyalty to the pickup trucks is about all that is keeping GM alive but their build quality is STILL not very high...even now.

Though by all accounts it is seen as higher than the passenger cars.
