You certainly don't see many GM cars around that are year 91 or so that start up each and everyday in the winter like our honda. Just because I won't drive another GM car and desperately want out, doesn't make it a bad choice for someone else. I am very much pampered with my car now, its just the engine that leaves me with a sour taste in my mouth.  Never again, Sorry GM!

In fact more and more are showing up all the time. >the winter like our honda. I can't agree with the honda comment. Our friend's 95 Civic often wouldn't start. I'd go over and mess around and finally get it started for her. It wasn't even winter!!! in Ohio. She finally got rid of it and it was rusting out in front of the rear wheels already. At least she didn't have to put one of those tin can mufflers on it like Hondas seem to have around here. I believe this thread should stick to comparing the current cars rather than trying to continue to put down GM from the past. I could list off many warts on certain foreign car's image from the past and the present... do we want to go there? I don't think so.

Replying to: dmathews3 (Jul 13, 2009 10:55 am) You mean like all those Mopar minivans rusting fenders and wheel wells or GM cars with blotched paint running around? I'm amazed how well most cars look these days after 5 or 6 years, but I think all brands have their good and bad models and model years. Can't say that one brand really rusts more than another. For example, I've seen a lot of old Corolla's running around up north with good bodies on them. |

Replying to: butch100 (Jul 13, 2009 4:10 pm) Yes, we should get back on track.. Lol. Can you get a gm car in a manual anymore? Such as the malibu, don't Camry and accord have a option. Wasn't there a new engine soon to be used? |

Replying to: bvdj84 (Jul 13, 2009 4:58 pm) Yes you can. I believe the Aveo, Cobalt, CTS and obviously the sports cars. Question is, how many Malibu buyers would want it, and is it worth it for them to make it available. |

Replying to: cooterbfd (Jul 13, 2009 5:11 pm) Not by much, but could help. But, yes, how many would opt for it. It beginning to be more rare to have a manual. I know my mother had an 04 Jetta (manual) and now she has an 08 Jetta(auto) Should would have wanted the manual, but its more hard to come by. The auto's are getting more advanced, such as paddleshifters, DSG, but its really not a true manual. But, very close in some cars. However I used the manual shift mode on the GM rental I had, and it was not exciting at all. 6spd shifting. I was surprisingly disappointed that it didn't work as well as I thought. So, probably in that case it would not compare to a true manual. Or maybe I wasn't using it right. The camry perhaps may have more of a chance of getting a manual out of the 3 cars.
