Does it really have to do with taste? GM was headed for obsolescence
quite some time ago and the economy provided the tipping point. Lots
of folks drive butt ugly vehicles that didn't come from GM.

I predict butt ugly cars will continue to be sold to Americans by the
thousands and Mencken will be vindicated.
