You have to pick any GM car from 2000-2004 that isn't a Corvette that you would drive daily.

Cadillac, Chevy, GMC, Buick, Olds, Saturn, Saab, or Pontiac. Pick ONE car you would drive.

I'll take my floaty V8 boat please.

Forgot about Hummer making anything before the H2. Actually, I pretty much forgot Hummer ever existed.

I never liked the front and rear end of the later Grand Prix's. The 90's Prix looked better IMO, but that's just me.

This is the one car I think Cadillac went backwards with after they got good again. From a RWD V8-power SUV to a FWD CUV built on the same platform as every other GM crossover.

They were ugly, the end. A friend of mine bought one used that was from the first production year, and it just finally went to that weird-hole in the sky a month or so ago. They did what the needed to do, and they were pretty good for a family. When compared to some of the epically shitty cars from the GM lineup back then, it stacks up fairly well.

Yeah, but the first gen's build quality is pretty mehhhh... not saying that the newer ones are fantastic but they are better than they used to be... I'll go with what some others have said and go with the GTO then, I'd rather have a sub-par interior in a Pontiac coupe then sub-par interior in a Caddy sedan.

It's funny that both of those huge boats are 100 to 400 pounds lighter than my mom's Vue, Which weighs 4076 pounds.

Well they are only a few years old and I wouldn't think the demand is that high.

But it's nice having the option if one was wanted bad enough.

I guess it all depends on how you define "own." You're right though, the H1 was made by GD. The question asked what GM car though, and since the H1 was exclusively sold to the public (and serviced) through GM dealers I'd argue that it counts. I was trying to think of a similar arrangement in the Auto industry but am drawing a blank. The closest I got was a different manufacturer re-badging another manufacturer's car as their own. For example GM rebadged the Subaru Impreza as the Saab 92-x. This isn't a really good example though since there were two versions of the car being sold to the public instead of one.

At the time of the 92X GM owned 20% of Subaru.

P.S. you just caught me after work and now i'm pissed off and feel like arguing.
