If so then it's gotta be a terrible vehicle. These are low 20k cars, who's setting the luxury baseline?

The 8ths are riding on a reputation of previous generations, I hope mine is as reliable as previous but from what I've seen so far I'm not instilled with a great deal of confidence.

I realize beauty is in the eye of the beholder but the MS3 is really a fugly car. The Cobalt is somewhere between the Si and MS3.
The interior quality is absolute crap, it feels like my fathers chevy aveo that he paid 10k OTD for
