GM seems to be floundering in mediocrity right now. They basically pump out generic, uninspired plastic boxes right now then try to nickel and dime their customers. In my opinion, foreign manufactures are absolutely eating their lunch right now.

Despite being children of an automotive family, with a deep loyalty for the Big 3, we've started to avoid their cars. While they can run forever, they just start failing apart.




Chevy Trax got C&D's highest 10/10 which is remarkable because GM's small cars are usually terrible...

and consumer reports seems to love the cousin Buick Envista.


The rebadged Commodores were a bright spot in the lineup for a while if you like that kind of thing

What are “foreign manufacturers?” Hondas and Toyotas have been built in the states for a long time. Chrysler has been a transnational merger for a while and Ford and GM have long histories of importing their overseas products.


Generally anything outside of the big 3 is considered foreign. It’s no longer fully accurate, but that’s how I’ve typically viewed it


How much of that foreign/domestic distinction do you think is marketing/propaganda?
