Is it too much to ask for a smooth, compliant ride over bumps and controlled handling at speed, instead of reminders, with every bounce and wallow, of the parental sacrifice you have made by driving a van?

When I see a GM, I'm often reminded of the parental sacrifices GM made by spoiling it's child, the UAW.
GM should and could have the best vehicles in the world, not these design-by-cost-cutting-committee embarrassments. But they simply can't afford to.
Personally, I'd rather put my money into a Toyota or Honda, where I know my hard-earned money isn't being used to line the pockets of overpaid, often bitter union workers who are slowly killing GM by forcing them to create vehicles like this. And why should I, earning less than 40 grand a year, support that? Why should I pay a retired guy's medical costs when I buy a car? Why would I want a car that was drastically cheapened in order to pay retirees and $90,000 per year labourers? No thanks. Instead, I could buy a foreign car where I know my money will go to people who are happy to have a job and a wage - just like me.
Having said that, I still can't get over how many CSVs I'm seeing on the road every day in Canada. I saw
three yesterday all within a minute of driving.
