First, if I won Lotto tomorrow, I would still drive my GXP. Love it, BUT
Paint (Mysterious) on my '07 GXP seems to chip very easily
Hard to see or impossible to see radio in sunlight
No auto dimming mirror
Cup holders - get rid of them or offer the OPEL waterfall as an option
Since you can't get rid of the airbag light on dash move it somewhere out the direct line of sight
PLASTIC -hard on elbows -- leather pads by JPM are awesome
Second, Thanks to all the rest of you for helping me focus the issues

1. More storage for small items like sunglasses, garage door openers, cellphones....these items need to be very driver accessible
2. Too much "gap" between accelerator and engine in the N/A....it takes a heavy foot to get this car to move
I was unable to lose the police helicopter. The cop cars were easy once I turned on the boost contoller to 14psi, but the helicopter hung in there at 160mph+
Other then that. Door locks.

I'd like GMs Direct Injection V6 next time around.
You did exactly what I asked you not to do. If you dont' have problems with your car, or at least can't be subjective, then don't post. I'm going to ask a moderator to remove your post. This wasn't a place to vent. I asked users to be unbiased, and admit problems the have, or things they don't like, in a numerical and categorical format. Not tell me about their neighbors beemer. I don't want GM reading about your neighbors beemer. I want them reading a concise list, in one location, about problems with the SOL. Rant somewhere else please.
OK I would have answered you rather pointless question until you posted that. I love my car and agree with Chuckdoc. Kiss my Grits!

Car is named Thunderstruck!
Holes in passenger side firewall leaked water into cabin floor
Windows were misaligned and water would drip in- wind noise was also intolerable
Convertible top was misaligned
Convertible top drip drain in trunk has come undone at least 3 times, allowing water to get into trunk
Whining noise from transmission ended up in replacing the rear diff- THREE TIMES!!!
Rear diff leakage
Conv. top release latch came loose twice and bent once
Plate behind inside door handles came loose and rattled around
Both driver and passenger side door handles BROKE OFF on same day
Car is currently in the shop for the door handles, the door windows are rattling and loose, and the door panels are lifted off about a 1/2 inch. This was all within 2 days of getting it back from the shop for some body panel alignments.
Haven't had any problems with paint chipping though, and the motor has been top notch
Minor bit*h - gas gage to small and recessed to deep to see. Junk Japanese manual truck transmission. Odd, the rear end is a Getrag unit, and Getrag is famous for their excellent European manual transmissions. Wonder why GM didn't consider a Getrag unit.........perhaps a better trans cost a dollar more? Overall I love the car and would purchase another!
1) Lack of 4 pt harness
2) Lack of passive head restraint system
In lieu of above
1) Lack of padding on drivers side top frame
2) Lack of better seat wrap around for driver
Considering BABY is crashed, I really cain't complain and these comments can be taken with moderation, a grain of salt or as a 19 year old going on 53 popping off.
Flame on, drive on.
