Best GM design by decade...your award winners please....
So as I was driving home tonight, I saw a survivor 69 Camaro...funky green, no cowl hood or big tires, slightly faded owm vynal top, hub caps, etc....and then I realized that Chevrolet didn't even have the best styling and design of the 60's Pontiac did IMHO. And in each decade, one winner clearly stands out....my verdict... Teens....Chevrolet....I love how they were able to make such simple design work so well... 20's...chevrolet again... 30's..buick...nice understated, clean design....Cadilla\c hyad some fantastic stuff, but overall buick... 40's...Oldsmobile....49 OIds 88 is one of my all tiem fav GM cars, and Olds design languagfe of the era was to me uniquely confident and extroverted in a conservative era of car design... 50's...Ponitac... 60's...who else...the wide track people win it again... 70's...without a doubt, Olds once again. I love how the design language translated sop well throughout the car line, and the collonade (73-77) cutty's are amazing and under appreciated cars. Not to mention the clean lines of the 70's 98's, which were also under appreciated cars...and the fantastic 70-72 cutty's... 1980's...flame me at will, but without a doubt, Olds wins it again...the cleaned up lines of the 77 (full size and 78 (mid size) cars were great for the era, and were I back in the 80's looking to buy a njhew family cruiser from GM, Olds would get the nod... 1990's...flame me again for the choice but...GMC trucks. GM trucks of the era really IMHO stood head and shoulders above the Fords and Dodges, with GMC providing a little bit extra...and I really like the trucks of the era better than the passenger car lineup so...GMC.... 2000-2010-GMC wins it again, IMHO.... 2011-present-Cadillac...esp with the new ATS... Your choices, by decade, please gentlemen....

2013 Nissan Sentra
We had a sentraq as a rental car once when the Miata was in a very minor accideent....driving it was it was pretty much like having someone run their fingers across a chaulk board...pretty much qualified for the worst car I'd ever driven. Previous gen SER Sentra wasn't terrible, but wasn't even close to SVT Focus, GTI, or other small commuter cars that were worth a damn....

For being a chick car...my wife and three daughters don't really like it. Seeing as how we have both a Miata and a MINI, you'd think they would like the 500....but no....they really don't...
