You're right about Generic Motors. The corporation has to sweeten deals
with up to $5500 in rebates, and it's still losing market share. Their goal
for 2003 was to attain 30 percent. Ha! GM will finish the year at
27.6--down from 2002. Imagine what it would have been if there hadn't been
any rebates.
I don't *completely* blame folks for buying these abominations. I
personally wouldn't want to drive a 20-year-old chassis and/or designs
[Cobalt (née Cavalier), Grand Am, Century] regardless of the price
considering what else is out there.
I am waiting to get "the call" from Holley Dodge in Middletown, Connecticut,
that my 2004 Dodge Ram 4x4 Quad Cab Laramie Sport 5.7-liter Hemi with
5-speed trany is ready. It was shipped from St. Louis on 09/02/2003!

Well, since we are all chiming in, I personally think a 61 Plymouth 2 door
hardtop with the right wheels and tires can be really wicked looking.
Ugly cars? The new T-bird. The second generation Taurus. Almost anything
GM from about 1980 on into the early 90's (slab sides, swoopy front end,
upright rear - truly awful). Or most of the recent Pontiacs with all their
body cladding and giant taillights (brings to my mind the phrase "atomic
cockroach").
I'm not quite getting the new Cadillacs, either.
