Not the same could be said of any other model from it's competitors. Let's see if they manage to ruin all that within 1 generation or will they be able to recover?

Don't disagree, that's why I'm keeping this one for the foreseeable future and looking at a P-car 911 for the next possible fun car. It'll be a while though. I really wish that Acura or Lexus would just really get in the arena and compete. Imagine something with NSX watered down tech in a 4 door.
Every time they launch something e.g. the new ILX, I shake my head and wonder 'why bother'?
I think GM upper management have the right vision, but their execution and dealerships will continue to drag on the brand. It's the same with Fords; yeah that GT350/500 is awesome, but the after sales support is a hard pass.
