Don’t go to far back on pre-1995 gm vehicles. The 70’s were a disaster for all the domestic makers.

I have a GM car with that emblem on it. I beat the living daylights out of that car and it takes it with ease. Would buy again.
The mark of excellence. Every one of the white Chevy trucks and vans we buy at work have the paint peel off.

my s10 has the original paint, engine, transmission. i recently put a used steering column in it so i could have tilt wheel.
only thing major i done to it is replace the cam gears and the clutch.

I had an '88 S-10 2.5 four cylinder/five speed and it was the best vehicle I ever had. Kept it 9 years w/o anything but maintenance items. The original Delco battery even lasted 8 years.

I have a Chevy Equinox as my company vehicle, I wouldn't buy one but I find nothing wrong with it.
My two biggest gripes against GM are that they don't make a real SUV smaller than a Tahoe. Wish they'd base a midsize SUV off of the Canyon/Colorado. You'd look pretty dumb showing up at an off road park in an Equinox or Terrain. If it could make it past the entrance...
And that they don't make a V8, RWD sedan besides the CTSV. Nothing in the 300/Charger realm now that the Chevy SS is departed. Otherwise, I think they make a quality product and would shop there for a truck or car before looking at anything Japanese or Ford (Ford for non auto reasons but I won't start).

I hated those GM emblems.
It was the decision of Rick Wagner, a fool, to place those emblems on every GM vehicle as a way to make the public aware who made it. Stupid idea and it was not the time to add cost to vehicles when we were bleeding cash. I still have the bad taste in my mouth as I ran the assembly line which had the operation that installed them. It was added work to a job that was already very busy and they just cost a stupid amount per piece. They sure looked nicely made and you saw them everywhere around the plant- on lockers, on doors, everywhere. I think for every logo on a truck we had 2 on somebody's personal items lol. I think they looked awful on vehicles - especially on the Corvettes where they were towards the rear of the car. I could not stand Rick Wagner and this was just a terrible and costly, dumb thing he rammed down our throats.

There was chatter about returning with a more capable H3 … I’m in for that

You ever consider there might have been a " brother-in-law " deal going on some where in the shadows ?
As far as vehicles I have personally owned , I have purchased GM vehicles ( except for the Nissan Leaf ) since some times in the 1980's . Mostly used .
My wife drove 4 - 5 Chevy Luminas & we were pretty happy with them .

They actually do make a Colo/Canyon-based SUV in Brazil, called the Trailblazer. They're considering bringing it up here. I think they should
