Most folks fail to realize that the basic platform underpinning the x-car was stretched and put to further use for 14 years (82-96) underneath the A-cars. The public generally has a bad perception of the X, but the A is thought of more fondly (Celebrity, 6000, Century, Ciera). I think the only real "problem" with X-cars was the brake proportioning issue that got a lot of bad press from what I recall (I had not arrived at GM yet, still in school). Generally auto quality was a bit sub-par in the early 80s.
The A-cars were lauded for quality in later years. The 6000 and OKC plant received top JD power honors for a couple years in the early 90s.
