I actually saw/sat in one at the California state fair in September - about
as ugly as they come, saw one and pointed it out to my wife the other day.
C'mon GM, what was
the focus group smoking when you showed them this car? I can't imagine anyone
who would buy one, even the "have to be out of the ordinary" crowd. I think it
was what the guy
who designed the neat looking upcoming Pontiac Vibe did when he had a few too
many one day on his lunch hour.

anything.
As a consequence, it now takes me twice as long to stick my foot in my mouth
