Good point about the Corvette. You could argue that the Camaro was a bad idea too. That's what the Firebird was for. I disagree with you, however, that they got their act together in the mid/late 80's. Their quality remained crappy throughout the 90's and at least part of this decade. What wasn't poorly built was poorly designed (Aztek) (acres of flat cheap gray plastic on the interior) or poorly marketed (the GTO in its Holden Monaro roots very nearly beat a BMW 5 series in an overall comparison test. They should have pushed it as an alternative to the euro sport sedans, rather than something that looked like a grand am but cost more.
