Overall, it's an improved compact SUV, but GM fouled up in not giving it a total redesign from the ground up (this needs to be done every 4-6 years).
I wish I could live in the little world inside your head where car manufacturers can afford to do this and come out with a profit. Even Toyota doesn't do things that often. The Camry has the same look to it minus a redesigned headlamp layout since 2002 and the Sequoia has only had the taillights laid over since 2000 when the thing debuted. FWIW, I don't think the Honda Civic has changed platforms since 2000 either.
Corvettes have gone sometimes decades before a thought to completely revamp them is put to motion. But we know what you think of those already.
When you describe your dream car, as I've seen you do several times by now, I completely agree with you. However, there is a difference between automakers building a car that is a current niche for the consumer and a car that is a logical choice for the consumer.
And to make this a useful post relative to the topic, the Saturn VUE Redline only comes with an automatic transmission.
