Ion - dissapointing

Sorry but many of those annoyances include cheap plastic levers which cost a
lot of money to replace when they snap off. Meanwhile with proper
maintenence, few people have problems even with those crappy Ford engines.

What Plastic levers? I cant recall any levers snapping off in any of my
Pontaics. You would have to be a complete Ape to break something in a
Pontiac and then you would be just as likely to break something in a BMW
or a Toyota and then you would pay more out the ass for a replacement.
If your only experiance with Pontiacs is "rentals" you hardly have a
opinion here as all rentals are abused.

Regular maintenence is one of the very things I cant stand with Fords.
They put no thought into their designs for what should be simple
maintenence and repairs. If you actually worked on cars you would know
that. As an example, motor mounts dont last forever and when they do go
they always seem to take 3 times longer and 10 times more tools to
replace on a Ford.

Judging by your post I have seen here and elsewhere there is nothing
out there that will satisfy you Art. Every tiny bad experiance you have
seems to entitle you to steriotype an entire brand. Everything you have
been in you hate. Anything that you will be in you will no doubt hate.
Anything that has yet to be conceived you will hate and you will be damn
sure to troll every group with that hateful nitpicking of yours for
every trivial thing you can find. I'm not sure how you even stand being
near a car. You obviously have no real reason for being here, welcome to
my killfile troll.
