So this little tiny flip out at the bottom of the fascia above the valance insert panel REALLY bothers you guys huh? We didn't like it either but I never dreamed in a thousand years that anyone in the real world would ever notice, let alone consider not buying the car for it. Again though, we didn't do it because of any kind of design decision... it was to make the car legal. Please keep in mind that there are many new crash standards that are coming into effect now that the old cars you guys are comparing it to don't meet in addition to GM's 5mph standard that European cars don't meet.
