I don't know if you're being ignorant, or just referring to the GM EV1 only...
GM cars are NOT tin-cans, if you look around your environment, how many 80's early 90's Japanese cars you still running running with NO rust, no bad paint, tail-lights still working...? NONE, sure, GM of the 70's 80s and early 90's were put together sloppily because of the Unions. BUT THEY STILL RUN! TODAY! 25 years later! old people still buy and take care of them!
I'll HAPPILY take a 1990 Oldsmobile Cutlass Cierra SL over any of those rustbucket Japanese cars, and I used to be a "Jap/Euro" car fanboy until I "saw the light".
If you are up to date in the auto industry today, GM/Ford are lightyears ahead of quality/reliability and fit-n-finish compared to Jap/Euro auto makers. Hell, BUICK is 1st place among people satisfied by reliability while Lexus is 2nd or 3rd.
