It feels like a Corolla is passing a Corvette. A Corolla that does not need to stop for repairs (or gas). GM was once thought of a company that could never be overtaken. GM needs to make some great cars that can manufactured on common platforms for more than a few years to improve quality.
When Consumer Reports issued "Best Used Cars", there were 57 cars recommended. Only 2 were from GM: Buick Regal and Pontiac Vibe. There were 17 GM cars on the worst list. The Buick Regal was assembled in Canada for 8 years on the same platform. Does GM need 8 years to make a quality product? OK, 8 years is too long. The car's design got dated.

GM should be the the best auto company in the world. I will keep buying GM cars hoping they will get their act together.
By the way, my two oldest kids went off to college a couple years ago and I trading in my gas-guzzling 2001 Suburban K1500 for a 2003 Buick Regal GS. It has been very reliable and FUN to drive (yes I said fun). I owned a 1997 Buick Regal LS before the Burb. I plan to purchase the 2009/2010 Buick "Regal" and pass the GS to my oldest. I hope it is the China Holden car with the classic Buick trim!
