They need to bring over more of their international offerings. Holden and Vauxhall make some pretty cool stuff over seas. I would be more interested in GM products if they did that.
Ditto. The Chevys and Buicks I've driven lately feel like there is some kind of rubbery insulation in the brakes and steering. It gives a cocoon effect, like guiding the car along instead of driving it, that I don't much like. I haven't tried a Malibu yet which I heard is much better.

As for myself I just bought a Chrysler, how crazy is that. The body panels aren't nearly as crisply stamped and finished like the old Mercedes. And so far I fixed 2 rattles and aligned the hood. But you know what, I'm happier doing little things with a car instead of having a perfectly boring (boringly perfect) little jewel like a Lexus.
