Hi guys,

My answer is Onstar. It may sound laughable, but it is actually the best in business. It's even available in a $20k Cobalt. I honestly think its implementaion is second to none. It is actually a desirable product.

I really don't mind driving a GM car if it's up to par with competition. After DC's trio of RWD cars, now Ford has rolled out exciting yet affordable cars like Fusion. I had high hope for G6 before its release... oh well...
it still looks nice, but...

No shame in having an Impala or Allure or Lucerne in my driveway any day

That's right. The Corvette is definitely lengendary, but it's not readily affordable to most of us, me included

Just sidetrack a little bit, despite of the mediocre performance, the Optra line does strike my attention. I think the Optra wagan is one of the best looking wagons around.

I don't mind having a new Impala SS on my driveway, but honestly, I would much rather have a Passat 3.6 or even a 06 Accord. That's desirability.

I agree with the Corvette. Impala/Monte Carlo & Escalade aren't bad either and the HHR is intriguing.

But for affordability, my vote goes to the Toyota Vibe.

The new Camaro will be the one when it comes.

I'll be different and go for any of the spec V Caddy's

My answer is Onstar.

Initially Gm thought On Star was a dud as a business model and let go the dude that developed the program.

The new STS is an impressive ride.

Corvette, no question. Regular or Z06. Both world leaders.

mp3butt · « **Reply #11 on:** February 15, 2006, 11:27:43 pm »

Any specV Caddies are indeed very nice. However, if say you have the cash and find yourself in the market of a high performance sedan, would you rather get a M3/M5 or S4/RS6 instead? Don't get wrong, both CTS-V and STS-V are big time performers, but in the field of luxurious racers they are not the first two vehicles coming to our minds.

The M3 is no match for the CTS-V’s V8. Having a Corvette engine in the CTS-V is far more attractive than the MS. The CTS-V is more of a practical car and interests me more despite BMW’s reputation. The M5 is another story with its 500 HP but the price Jump is huge.

1. Corvette and everything Corvette. It's like they're from another planet where "normal" GM doesn't exist.
2. Caddy. The comeback kids, taking on the Germans. Must have borrowed some Corvette staffers...
3. Uh, uh, uh, well, jeez, that looks like it.

Corvette has always been about performance...now their build quality looks to be improving too. Cadillac looks to be back on the comeback trail....got some exciting designs.

Best Service Oriented Product = OnStar
Best Vehicle = Corvette and then distantly Cadillac

sirAQUAMAN64 · « **Reply #16 on:** February 16, 2006, 10:48:58 am »

Tahoe/Yukon/Escalade, Corvette, and Vibe.

Then I'd say Lucerne, Cadillac STS and SRX (with a revamped interior coming), Impala/Allure, G6, Cobalt SS, Saab 9-3 SportCombi.

IMHO, currently the best GM product is... their financing branch! Hard to beat 0%/5 years on anything you buy from them!

poopoo head · « **Reply #19 on:** February 16, 2006, 12:25:13 pm »

oh wait, there is technically also:

- Saab 9-2 X Aero
- Vauxhall VX220

sweet
