Maybe it was a Corsica. That was back in an era when GM made an awful lot of cars that looked almost identical to one another: generic blobs of a car with different names. The one we had in driver's ed had a nasty looking red interior. As a teenager the only thing I can remember about it was that it at least felt somewhat fast.

I think anyone looking at what GM makes today versus the 90's will see what a huge improvement they've made. The old Celica I had in high school was seemingly light years ahead in terms of fit and finish and interior design. The driver's ed car we had was almost a joke in terms of how awful the thing was. There's a reason hardly any GM cars from that era are still on the road: Because almost all of them went to the crusher a long time ago. OTOH I still see tons and tons of 90's era Toyota and Hondas being daily driven.
