I don’t know why some of the most awful cars are always Grand Ams. There’s one driving around that was, I think, originally dark blue, but has a white hood, white fenders, white trunk, and an unsymmetrical white ‘X’ on either side.

He took the “Mostly Old Parts And Rust” acronym too seriously.

Because they were some of the most awful cars when they came out and anyone driving one twenty years later is probably the kind of person who sees a car and buys it without looking at any other options.

“I don’t know why some of the most awful cars are always Grand Ams.”
This is fact!
It’s almost always the 1992-1998 cars too.

Grand Ams along with the entire GXP/GTP clan. At least around metro Detroit. They manage to combine the worst looking mods with the biggest dumbass behind the wheel.
I put a pulley on my 3800 so my car runs 12’s in the quarter.
Uhh no it fucking doesn’t.
Haha I was just trolling. I’ll roll race anyone though!

The Oppo Facebook page was having a circlejerk about how Car Throttle called the Grand Am a Turd, so the opinions expressed in the comments confuse me.

I would honestly rather drive a Cavalier. Drove a ‘97 5 speed cavalier today and it was a blast. Followed that up with a gold four-door Grand Am and it was miserable. Drove a Grand Prix GT and it was livable. 2006 Grand Prix GTP Comp G was a pretty damn daily driver, though.

Having driven both and absolutely despising the Cavalier... I would too.

Yeah, the GXP/GTP cars aren’t race cars, but they are decent for daily-driverage. Reasonably comfortable and not mind-numbingly slow. Drove a Series III supercharged Grand Prix GTP Comp G and I rather liked it, though pontiac’s idea on how paddle shifters should work is pretty stupid. Also, heads up displays are neato.

I love the cavalier. Simple honest no-bullshit car. Indestructible, available with a manual, lightweight. Sort of an American interpretation of the Honda Civic.

I always thought that the original Saturn S series and first gen Neon were the American answers to the Civic. Later we got the SVT Focus to take on VTEC.

My girlfriend just got a ‘98 Saturn S series with a 5 speed. Definitely a similar vein as the civic but with a ton of added quirkiness.

I love old Saturns, even though this one has a shattered plastic fender.

They do this to Pontiacs because ever since the screaming chicken Trans-Am, Pontiacs started coming from the factory so covered in fakery, that adding a Mopar decal is hardly the worst thing that could happen.
And I say that as a guy who would totally have a black and gold smokey & the bandit T/A —t-tops and all.
I will also point out that basically any car that has a resell value of under $1500 has this pep-boy problem. Those that buy them tend to spend a lot of money on stickers. If nothing else, these guys are paying homage to car-culture even if they have misplaced priorities and they often mature into full-fledged car folks. I’m not entirely guiltless, I once had a BMX bike that was held together nearly entirely by the stickers I’d be handed by the motorbike shop nearby. Took me a while, but my sticker-count is very low these days. I've even resisted adding a vtec decal to the SUV.
