Does GM build Cars I would want to buy?

After putting 1000+ miles in a brand-new Buck Regal over the last two days, I’m here to tell ya, they have not learned squat about ergonomics. That car ran well, but its lay out and controls were confusing as hell. Worst of all, the instrument cluster was not designed to be read/used, but it looked good as long as you didn’t want information from it. 
After about 8 hours in the car, I realized that even though it looked pretty nice from the outside, I hated it. It was noisy as hell on the freeway. If you have ever driven between Memphis and Little Rock, you know how loud today's freeways are with the potholes, uneven pavements, patches, and constantly changing road surfaces. I couldn't hear the radio or even blue tooth phone conversations well unless the volume was turned up to "megablast" while driving the speed limit. The road noise volume makes long drives in this car simply miserable.
At night, it's worse as the cockpit glare and lighting layout creates an environment hostile to this driver at least. All in all, the operator-machine interface in this car is a joke. I would be ashamed as an engineer to put my name on this design. But as a consumer, I would never vote with my bucks for this car, there are simply too many out there that don't exhibit all these negative, anti-driver characteristics.
God help the American workers who build these cars here, and those in Mexico, Japan, and Canada who assemble and build parts for these cars. GM still doesn’t get it. Anyone who buys a new car from Government Motors thinking it is a patriotic move, shoots themselves in the foot with a 2nd rate design and generally uncomfortable automobile.
Next new car I get will be made by Americans and built here too. I want one designed for drivers, not aesthetics. So far, it’s a Toyota Tundra, made by Texans in San Antonio, for me or perhaps one of the other brands actually built in the USA by Americans.
