Nope. I nailed it actually. You are crying because auto manufacturers got lazy, created crappy gas hogs that nobody wanted and you need someone to blame.
As you were boomer.
Wrong again kiddo. I loved the cars they hated. In fact, if I read one of their reports that gave low marks, chances are my family and friends would be mighty pleased with it. And they were not gas hogs either, usually bested the foreign competition if there was any to begin with. You see back then, unlike today, when you pulled up to a light there might have been 2 or 3 cars around you that were made in Japan and Germany, that's it. The rest were American, when folks were proud to be Americans.
You've been raised in a different time kid, different schooling too and that hasn't been good. Instead of not removing the ancient landmarks, the rebellious wreck everything they touch. You like your GM auto, yet you cannot help yourself but to trash it. Instead of figuring out the designer's intent, you deride their decisions and the choices they made without any idea of the obstacles faced. And such is not limited to GM, or cars, or even the toaster. It's a poor way of thinking.
