I've sat in the G8 and Astra recently and they both have fine interiors - no squeaks or rattles. GM's new cars are finally up to par, the problem is there's aren't many of them.
Saki is such a G8 fan boy!

Wow...that's a massive stretch...an Accord? Sedans are difficult to design and brand...they are all pretty much the same animal. 
Maybe the lights...and even then...it's a stretch. Looks like Chevy is going the way of 2 tier grilles on their sedans...the way of the Malibu...not bad...different, but good.

haha it is a bit of a stretch...but when i first saw those lights, i had the same "ehhh i don't know about this & not love at first sight" impression that i had with the accord.
...and it was my first post after just waking up, so my vision was somewhat cloudy

I know the interior looks great and all...but go sit in one (or something like the new Malibu) and push on the pieces...they flex and make noise...
Reminds me of our company Hummer H2...that damn thing squeeks, rattles (and rolls??) like crazy...the interior is crazy cheap.

The 08 Malibu is freaking QUIET...good lord. I drove the 4cylinder so it was pretty damn slow.
I think Saki is getting paid. Its all good since BMW sends me a FAT check bi weekly.

I question their decision to put vegetation in the passenger's footwell. I think that's the wrong approach to being "green." I think the brick would add too much weight, too.
