what is so bad about 4 speeds? some one please tell me the reasons? Since basicly all my Auto cars have had them. Every 5-6 speed auto i drove seem to jumpy to shift gears you tap the gas since the speed limit goes up 5 mph and the thing dramaticly shifts like i floored it. Whats with that?
No one can denie that the GM 4speed's are the best in the world. Trust me I have never seen a transmission seen that much abuse i give stand up to what i do.
As for Relieabilty and track record well since my 90 Caprice is still on the road with just basic stuff like spark plugs air fiters oil and brakes. It still is running good. unlike my friends 98 Camry thats had 4 computers so far.
As for ABS isnt need as a standard option since it drops the base price of the car down. Personaly Air bags or ABS has never saved me from anything yet. the only thing it did do is do that ABS $h! in a corner and did a breif lock and spin me out of control (on a dry warm day)
But Where GM has done bad is not offering sticks in base cars like Impala. It even would drop the price. and INTERIORS!!!!!! but other than that I can tell you i see more old Cavilers luminas Caprices and other varius cars from the 80-90's GM cars still on the road. while i dont see many old toyotas and hondas and nissians. there out there but there rare. For example If some one says Yeah i got a 87 Century. you blow through your head oh just a beater. But if someone says i got a 87 civic or whatever. you think those are even on the road still, Its probably a garge queen??
But Whatever The hardest thing to achieve in bussiness is Consumers and consumer satisfactory. And GM is doing ok there. since Smart consumers like us on this fourm and even Toyoguy know why we buy what we do. We dont rely on Auto writers or magizines to tell us what to buy.
