New car quality control sucks? GTFOH. You can't be serious. Where were you from '75 to '95? Twenty years of glued together, slow as a bloodhound, rolling crap.
My wife's 2017 RAM with 5.7 and 8-speed and loaded with options, I wouldn't trade for anything. It ain't missing anything and only costs tires, oil changes every 10,000 miles, and insurance. My 2007 Magnum SRT8 has 120,000 miles on it, 70,000 of which had a 0.630" lift cam and 461rwhp at 20mpg+. Oil changes at 10,000 miles and the only trans fluid change happened at 40,000 when it installed the ProTorque converter.
Let's face it, GM just sucks anymore. The trucks have been *ss ugly since about '87, and the cars haven't been much since about '72. Everything sucked in the late '70s, '80s, and '90s, so GM looked like a boss at the time. The
Grand National was the exception, and that's even hard to remember since today's cars are so much better all around. After 2000 some of the GM cars were excellent looking and performing, WS6, G8, GTO, CTS-V, Corvette...................................
Hey, you brought it up............
