I had a Toyota Tacoma that got bought back in the frame recall

I got an 08 Malibu for my rental I got to spend a whole month using it as my daily driver and I HATED the f-ing thing... when I made that comment above I actually had the Malibu in mind...

The Cadillac interiors aren't bad but I'm just not comfortable in GM cars... the way they lay things out and proportion them is just incredibly uncomfortable to me, and the fit and finish of how all the trim comes together and how all the buttons, dials, and other controls feel is just sloppy IMO.

I did like the Saturn Sky quite a bit when I test drove that, but then again that's really an Opel GT so it's not the same designers as most Chevys.

Obviously this is all subjective. It's just odd that you dislike interiors that are winning awards and accolades (Malibu) throughout the industry, but then an interior that is terribly laid out and critically frowned upon (sky/solstice) you like...Not criticizing. Just weird.

Well, I guess my tastes aren't in align with the market... either that or I'm aligned with the market and the critics aren't. neither would surprise me...

My father's a Chevy fanatic... I remember he bought a new Camaro SS in 2000 and sold it 6 months later because of all the squeaks and rattles and ugly looking gaps where the interior didn't fit together properly. Then he bout an 04 Z06 and loved the performance but hated the interior... To me the malibu's interior was very reminiscent of both of those cars.
