Nah, we only had a truly strong middle class for 25-30 years. The Republicans have been effectively destroying it since the 1970s.For more than a century, the United States has enjoyed a strong middle class, allowing its citizens to participated in "The American Dream". Taking jobs away, promoting the creation of a two-tiered class system of wealthy and poor, and promoting the downfall of business and industry is anti-American in every way. At least your desire for secession is rightly placed.
Every Chevy I've ever driven is just like that. Even my cousin's old '86 Celebrity could crank the wheel hard over while stopped using only one finger. You could literally "throw" the wheel and let it "coast" through the rest of the turn.
My Pontiac is the same way (awful). My E30 has better steering feel, and it's way more abused.My Dad's Roadmaster was really bad. He ended up fitting a new steering box.
I really do not understand Toyota's problem. They committed themselves to being bigger than GM, which was certainly a mistake, but not irreversible. If they were really interested in preserving (or rebuilding) their reputation for solid, reliable cars they could improve materials and focus on build quality. Or basically: build fewer cars. But I very seriously doubt that idea has even been floated in any board meetings.
I'm equally confused with their supposed inability to build anything interesting. Frankly I think that it's just something they pretend to be concerned about. They're making plenty of money building perfectly average family cars.
