Whether it be the Solstice, Vette, or G8 the problems are obvious,
The two exceptions to this are the CTS and Malibu, and even the Malibu dies a bit in marketing.

I'd like to see you explain how the LNF-powered Cobalt SS scored 8:22 at the Nurburgring, 2 seconds behind the Camaro SS. I'd go ahead and argue that GM got the whole package right, including the suspension. From a performance perspective, that's all there is.
It would only be appropriate to argue that the Civic is an attractive car, finally. It's angular shape gives the front end an exotic look, and the interior is unique, especially with the digital speedometer and dash. That being said, attractiveness is such a subjective topic that discussing it scientifically is nearly impossible, so let's focus on the objective facts: the LNF outperforms the K-series Honda motor when placed in the same product. It's indisputable.
