They (speaking of the Alliance, but those awful GM things weren't much better) were complete crap, but very cheap crap after they depreciated to near zero in about four years, so lots were left on the roads up here for years after they left the showrooms, being driven by the chainsmoking-tshirt-wearing trailer park moms and odd looking old men with 1970s hair.

They had some sort of racer-GT version that went like scat, looked ok too, but probably fell apart even quicker.

The bright spot was the convertible, which was the cheapest way to drop a top... and still is, if you can find one that runs. I see one or two on the roads ever summer.

If one turned up for $400 with a current inspection I would buy it and plow through our winter with it.
