I agree with all of that except a couple of things:
Saturn was actually pretty good when they first came out (quality wise) because they were practically indestructable. Yes, they look like crap and smell like it too, but that doesn't make them crappy. They're an economy car. But now Saturn build quality is no different from any other GM. I have friends with Skys and Ions and a few of them have had problems left an right, just like my Solstice has had.
The other thing is:

But then again, its just like trying to get the Nav system in a Base 370 I suppose.

I totally disagree. You can get GPS in a 370... Yeah, you need a different trim, but you can get it in that car's body, that car's motor, etc. I have the top of the line Solstice GXP with every option possible (except the smokers package) and there's NO way to get GPS in a $30K+ car. WTF? Name ANY Chevy car (not the trucks) that can get GPS as an option... The only one I can think of is the Corvette.
I don't see the different between the base 370z and the Touring 370z the same as the different between the Solstice GXP and a Corvette with Navi. Two different cars with two COMPLETELY different budgets!
GM has their heads up their @sses. They need to kill off ALL of their cousin platform cars and reduce their line up to completely different cars. No cousins. No Sky vs. Solstice. No Corvette vs. XLR, DEFINITELY no GMC vs. Chevy trucks... (That's just retarded). And for F**k's sake, GIVE US SOME FREAKING OPTIONS!
My family used to be all about GM. We've had so many GM cars it makes me dizzy. I had 3 Pontiacs before I bought my 19 year old 300zx and said "Wow... This is better than all of the GMs I've owned." And that's just sad. My mother refuses to buy American cars due to the lack of craftsmanship and quality. Although, now she's looking into buying the new Tesla Model S (my suggestion
) and that's likely to be the first American car she'd be able to depend on.
