    My Chevy Volt is great and was one of the best reviewed hybrids. Still untouched on battery range, I think. And GM’s battery management system is top notch. Heater in my volt is shit unless I’m running ICE, though.

    Wouldn’t buy a GMC, but Chevy has never really done me wrong. Cadillac seems overpriced for a rebadged Chevy.

    Ford’s got good stuff but I’ve never really owned one since the Escort. Guess I might if they ever transition me from contractor to full employee.

    Chrysler… has a van. Guess it’s been fine but I’ll personally never get another one.

    Probably never buy a Japanese car unless those plants are staffed by UAW. I hear they are good but I’ve never been in one that seemed any better than an American car.

    I would never, ever buy a fucking Hyundai. I’ve been in two and they were the most cheap pieces of garbage I’ve ever seen. But I guess they were cheap pieces of garbage. They might’ve gotten better since I was only in the first couple of model years.

      Wouldn’t buy a GMC but Chevy is ok? The money goes in the same pocket buddy, they’re the same cars with different badges!

        I don’t think there were rebadges of the Volt or Bolt. Don’t recall one of the Cavalier. None of the Sonic. I honestly didn’t know until I just looked it up that they rebadged the Equinox to the Terrain, else I’d have said the stuff they felt was worth rebadging was just not great stuff. I won’t say the Equinox was a blast to drive, but that thing was a workhorse that got the job done for about 12 years.

        The old Blazer and Jimmy I wasn’t a fan of.

        But these days, their line of SUVs is pretty good and those all get rebadges, but my opinion of GMC has been settled for about 20 years.

        Next new car I’m eyeing is the EV Equinox. Needs a better heater than the Volt, though.

          “My opinion of GMC has been settled for about 20 years.”

          All GMC vehicles are just Chevrolet models with a GMC badge! It’s been like that since the 70s, and even then the only difference was that they still had exclusive engines, the rest was the same except for esthetics. Since the 1920s Chevrolet and GM have been using the same platforms.

          Not all Chevrolet models get rebadged, but all GMC models have their Chevrolet equivalent. If you hate GMC your need to hate Chevrolet. They’re. The. Same. Cars!

        The fuck? I drove a mid-80’s Escort wagon. I raced against my friend’s Chevette once. Pedal to the metal and we still haven’t made it past 40mph.
