If you spent half as much time comparing all your precious euro cars from "back in the day" to current cars - the way you constantly compare historical US cars to current "competitors" instead of peer competitors of the day, you might learn that teh US cars of the period where in fact good cars
Have you bothered to ever FACTUALLY research reliability and quality of ANY eurocar of the 1950's, 60's and 70's?
If you did, you would find terrible mechanical reliability, atrocious electrical systems, pathetic rusting problems and generally poor quality.

Again, try comparing the car to its euro peers of the day - you know, those anemic 190bhp Porsches and ferraris and *gasp* absoltute tripe (when compared to CURRENT peers) Audis and VW's of the 70's.

Built from the same parts bin and with parts from the same suppliers as every other Pontiac... so pretty much a GM car through and through.
