GM and Alfa- Remember the Allante!

["Kelly Knight (Ronin Productions)" <kknight@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The LeMans was Korean, really. Designed by Opel, built by Daewoo.

I don't know that I would call the Catera a debacle, nor would I necessarily
say that the Allante was a total failure. I have driven both cars and would
say that they are/were enjoyable cars (espcially the last Allante). The
Reatta (I'm a sucker for gadgets, tho, loved that touch screen) was
underpowered and the LeMans was total junk (but they sure did sell a LOT of
them!).
