What was an assembly line GM worker making in 2001?

Maybe if GM rebadged the Opel Astra as a Chevy back there, just like it was done in South America, would have a better product to the segment.

Cheap parts yield cheap results, ie: "...lowest bidder..." syndrome, where you GETS what you PAYS for.

Best comment I saw
"This crap was made BEFORE the government bailout. They make better cars now."
Yea that changed everything :)

Re: this whole ignition switch thing: it reminds me of the Toyota accelerator debacle in that I think most if not all the mishaps were more the result of inept drivers panicking than the actual "bad" part. We all know you can turn the key off and not crash into a wall in a ball of flames as a result. :rolleyes:

Also, I guess ignition switches should designed to function with keychains that have 5 lbs of crap hanging off 'em.

They should have kept the Saturn line, and canned the rest.
