A few things like the late 90's firebirds turned out real nice. But for example they should have called the GTO the G8 in the beginning rather than insulting that name with a lame generic body, and done the GTO properly.
And I'm not paid big bucks to do the designers work for them. I don't have the time to figure out how to rescue that disaster.  Plus I think these cuv pos need to gtf off the road. 9 times out of ten they arn't paying attention and driving poorly. This includes luxury cars.
Instead of this pos they should have kept pontiac and made a firebird to compete with the camaro.... Then I'd buy a bird and my dad would get a camaro. :(
But lol they kept BUICK and still produce hardly identifiable cars.... -_-
Here is hoping to a wildcat or skylark with proper performance options.

And that is why they don't pay you to be a product planner either. Cars cost hundreds of millions of dollars to engineer, design, test, and build. Making a twin that would compete with something else but sell in a very small volume is a bad idea.
And its not the car that isn't paying attention, its the driver. Stick them in a muscle car and they don't sudenly learn how to drive. Speaking of muscle cars, did you know (and I was shocked to learn this as well) not everyone wants an aggressive car? The vast majority want something that has convenient features, gets good fuel economy, and looks non-threatening.
