Really, how do you do it?

By building amazing vehicles... like I expect the Camaro to be.

If they're able to build a car where someone's only complaints are:
the lack of vanity lights on mirrors
gas filler on 'wrong' side (even though there is no correct side)
2 steps to use the back seat of a sports car depending on where the front seat is (I firmly believe that you won't need to move the seat forward most of the time)
a wire going through the trunk that almost all coupes with that trunk config have
Dash IP that isn't soft (I don't even see why it needs to be soft)

Then they've done an outstanding job that is sure to win over the masses. Hopefully this car will get such great reviews that not only will it convince people interested in a 2+2 sports coupe to buy it but it will also serve as a halo and poster child for how GM has some very great cars in the lineup. This car has such a high profile that I really think it has that ability. And if the Volt succeeds next year in doing something similar then the opinion that the general population has of GM could change rather quickly. Add in the cruze, etc... here's to hoping this absurd belief is done for good sooner rather than later.
