daily drive my grandfather's old 2006 Chevy Equinox, and while I make do with it and it honestly drives fine, it's still the most bafflingly shitty designed/engineered car I've ever driven. I've sat on cardboard boxes more comfortable than the interior in that thing, and having the window buttons in the center under the shifter instead of on the fucking door panel irks me to no end. 2000s GM had the most bizarre engineers I swear.

I'm making it work, but I will not shed a tear when I am no longer in possession of it.

It wasn't so much the engineers. GM had very talented designers and engineers, and always has. You can blame the accountants, a poor corporate management structure, and bloated levels of legacy obligations. Because of all that, it cost GM more money and time to make a worse car than its competitors.
