Good reading all the way around. I have ridden in all these cars, but I was only 6-7 at the time. My father used to drive them every day as company cars when he worked for Pontiac. I do recall in past conversations how customers complained about the RAIV and drive ability. Especially the automatic cars. Let's face it, they were not targeted at ma and pa to take on a Sunday drive. Neither were the LS6 Chevelle's and the hemi Cuda's. But many ended up doing just that. I would agree the mild mannered HO cars likely did run better and surely were more user friendly.
