“They may be confusing, but the electronic instruments do convey a lot of information.”

Back when no one gave a shit about UX.

GM is the sugar daddy of the car world.

Well, mobile phones weren’t a thing then, so you needed other things to divert attention from the road.

Wait what?!? I tuned out when he said “Corvette-like” and all of the cars started to blend together.

Some observations:

1) Watching that Camaro bounce was funny

2) Seriously, the styling on the Fiero was almost a decade ahead of it’s time.

3) I guess the Astro isn't a full size van after all

Oh god the HT-4100... I think my mom was on the 3rd one in her 87 Sedan DeVille when we got rid of it.

I was also surprised that they called it a small van.

And this was just North America - you have to roll in Vauxhall, Lotus, Holden, Opel, and Bedford.

Bedford?

Their British commercial vehicle brand, phased out in ‘86. Their UK van manufacturing subsidiary is still technically called IBC Vehicles Ltd., with the “B” originally standing for Bedford, though the marque itself is long defunct.

I flogged many a GM product in the 80's through the corners. My old man used to get company cars, usually Buicks or Pontiacs. The 87 Bonneville SE was the shit yo!

GM was pulling a Bill Gates-esque maneuver back then. Buy up everybody and put cars everywhere! Their PR department was probably an actual monster. :P

“We will make all of the cars. You will have no choice. Quality doesn’t matter, because GM is everything. You will have no choice.”

Two decades later they almost died. Because it turns out quality DOES matter, the consumer isn’t as stupid as thy thought.
