I was looking at a new one, but the options for the interior was moderately terrible. More than anything else, even though I could do the Overseas Exchange—I couldn't do the custom build. (The C30 is built in Belgium—no custom build for that reason.)

Here-here!

#1 car to make me want to die: I saw a sage-green Saab 9.3 Viggen lowered and on chintzy two-spoke DUBS... and the headlights were blacked-out.

You make me want to die.

You don't think the luxurious Daewoo-Sonic sourced Buick Encore is evil enough?

Correct, I've seen so many white-trash boys in lackluster parts of Des Moines driving their CTS—more often than not, painted orange, black, or silver.

Which is why I loathe most sedans on the mid-size market; they are dull to look at, under-perform, and aren't as useful as a wagon or cute'ute.

I'm aware... That's pretty much the point I was making. I think you need to tell your comment to the guy above me.

This was more of a complaint that I miss "smoker's package" on cars being more than a chintzy 8-ounce cup which I could otherwise spend $4 on at K-mart versus $40 at the dealership.

No... My cupholder is already stuck doing ashtray duty—I'm not putting some crappy tablet in it.

Any change this will bring back the glorious Mazda 6 Sportwagon or Liftgate/Hatch?

Great nose and interior, but the back-end looks like a cross between a Sonata & Chevy.

You mean Sonic—the Aveo was such a heaping pile of crap the company had to change its name to the Sonic. the Sonic/Aveo at least gets some slack cut since we expect its Daewoo-sourced design & engineering to be utter crap.

No, it's called the company sucks at making electronic devices work in their vehicles. Why would I buy something from a company with a history of making terrible components when said components make up a larger percentage of this one car than any other vehicle they build?

But will the new Cabrio have a basket-handle?!?!?! If it does—holy hell, i think I might buy a German car.

I think I love him.

Same here.

For me it is "GM + electronics = 100% failure"

Funny, I think the rear-end is the only nice looking part of the car. The rest of it looks like a Honda Insight had a drunken weekend with a Chevy Cavalier.

They should've just sold them as Mercuries; or they should've been sold in independent lots not right next to Mercury/Lincoln.
