Why does the high dollar nav radio not scroll through the artist / title info and the cheap radios do?
Also my 05 Denali XL can only be unlocked with a key on the drivers door. My 01 Sub could do it from drivers door, passenger door, and rear hatch.
And my Sub had a door lock button by the rear hatch. The Denali doesn't.
That's it for now, but I'm sure I'll think of some more stupid shit GM did( or didn't) do.

4. The ******* squeaks/rattles it makes.

This ^^^ is priceless!! I'm still laughing! (because it's true!) It's like riding in a low rider with hydrolics!

I literally LOL'd at this one. Seriously, you can't read half the buttons on my stereo or seat/memory controls.

Thank You Sir! They suck, don't they? ****** part is, they knew about it like 15 years ago!

I've wondered that about the radios too. As for the 1 lock on the 05 I like that, because someone only has one chance to pop the lock.

DRLs are crap, all materials feel cheap, AWD system, Build quality is crap, 3rd row seats must be removed to really get any decent storage room, still no factory HIDs in anything but the escalade, column shifter stalk is clunky,

Thought of 2 more:
Huge screen on nav radio, but little clock you can barely see in the corner.
AWD sucks the big one. It's not worth a shit when youre in heavy snow and it's hard to do doughnuts in. The regular 4wd is sooooooooo much better.

This thread is so Awesome! (Thanks Eagle)

It's a perfect example of how it's okay to notice the flaws in your particular vehicle, and yet still love it!

I admire that so much more than blind loyalty! (I.E. "My manufacturer is great! They never do anything wrong!")

The rear bench would be awesome if it was able to recline. They do sell a kit to make it recline but thats $300+. I also agree with the "no button to pop open the rear hatch"
