This isn't a car that was meant to have people care about it's looks, although even in that category it's much better than the standard GM fare. It doesn't have the "ribbed for her pleasure" body cladding they've been slapping on the Grand Am / Grand Prix for years. The interior isn't acres of cheap grey plastic. The seats don't look like an easy chair you found in a salvage yard.
I'm not a huge fan of GM, but they're making some good moves with this car. BTW, I dunno why people are bitching about the fact that it's a Monaro. The Monaro is a pretty damn sweet car, and it's about time some good cars are available on this side of the pond.
I don't see anyone bitching about the Acura TSX, which is really a rebadged euro-market Accord.
