MY Rant, GM Batteries

GM's idea to revolutionize the industry that went over like a lead balloon, yet again. (Like the clutch head screws back in the '50s.) Actually, if you take a look at a lot of more modern GMs it does allow for a little more room in the engine compartment. Would rather deal with a GM side post under the hood than a battery mounted in the fender well, ala Chrysler with the Intrepid or Sebring. Hell, I'd rather pull the backseat out of an old MG to get to the battery than have to pull the friggin' tire... That being said, you're right, it does make interchangability and jump starting/charging a hassle, with the posts tucked in under bracing and the old style jumper clamps too big to get in there.
