I dont mind GM, been driving em since I have started driving and they served me fine. I agree the VIN K upper intake problem is a BIG problem and its due to the EGR inlet into the upper intake manifold failing , the corrective measure is a 180 T stat. In particular the 3800 pushrod engine is the best engine designed in recent GM history. And the Supercharged L67 found in Bonnevilles, Grand Prix GTP and the Buick Riv (also in SOME Olds LSS's and Buick PA's) is an amazing engine...powerful, torquey, and dependable, the M90 Eaton blower on the Series II L67 makes these GM cars true sleepers.

As for design, every car company has their flaws, but the mid 90's Riv, the 95-99 Aurora, 97-03 GP, the Bonneville, The Seville STS, these are but a few examples of some well designed GM cars...gotta love the HUD as well.

I find the interior on my Aurora hard to beat...in any car...

Decide for yourself
