Ok, so after the many visits to the Service Dept. at the dealer (1x for brakeline and spoiler recall, 4x for speaker replacement, 5x for check engine light which they finally figured was the timing belt, 1x for brakes and rotors replacement, 1x for tires replaces, 1x for oil life and tire sensors malfunction)in my 2010 2LT RS that I purchased in May 2009, driving bogus rental cars paid for by GM, lots of profanity coupled with tamtrums at the dealership, a letter to GM, and meetings with the Service Director and Sales Manager, I was able to be compensated with a brand new 2011 2LT RS.
The best part about it all was that it was the same color and model as the 2010, but now it has a sunroof (which I always wanted), Chrome wheels, backup sensors, and that tight HUD. Now that I have been driving the 2011 for a few hours I've come to the conclusion that the 2010 that I had was a real P.O.S. I've had to put that car in the shop more times than I have with any other car I've owned in it entirety. The only two good things in my opinion that the 2010 has over the 2011 is that the exhaust was louder and the bumper looked cleaner with the backup sensors. But hey I'm happy I have them. More than that, the dealership gave the full value of the car plus a $3000 rebate. The only part that suck out of all of this is that I just put brand new General G-Max All-season Tires on the 2010 car. But I just chalked that up since they gave me the $3000 rebate they gave me. But anywho, the moral of this story (at least for me) is to never buy a next generation car the first year it comes out.
