You mention ugly stereos. . . Check out the stereo that was used on the first generation Chevroyota Matrix:


For the most part, the Matrix is and was a 5 door Corolla, but they definitely dipped into the GM parts bin to save some money. Again, just because it has a Toyota badge doesn't ALWAYS means that it uses 100% Toyota engineering/parts. For years, I've refused to buy cars built out of NUMMI. Despite being decent, I still (personally) feel that there is a difference in build quality out of that joint venture plant. I'm so glad that partnership is dead.

Wow, that looks bad as well. I don't know what it is, but I think there is something that subconsciously says, "cheap garbage" whenever I saw Chevy interiors when I was growing up. It's weird, because I've been in older Fords, Dodges, newer Hyundais, Hondas, etc. None of them bothered me, but those Chevrolets, maybe it's just me but they look so bad...
