That, to me, does not define "crap."

No, BUT you also have to tolerate a low quality interior. That gets old on a daily basis. Plus, what do you suppose is the ratio of non-SS to SS Cobalts sold? 50 - 1 or so? The average buyer could care less how the car performs on the track, but they sure as hell notice cheap materials, poor assembly, and rattles.
John, nice assessment. Though in regards to the trucks, you can't ignore that full-size trucks are STILL very profitable, even with higher fuel prices. How about investing in increasing MPG on those trucks? Can you imagine how well a 25-30 MPG diesel 1/2 ton truck would sell?
