One downside of GM's is they lose their value quicker than an import. For me; I plan on keeping my car for many years so it isn't a concern.
Other thing with Onstar, IIRC you have to pay $25 per month after the 1st year, so it's a lot to pay to not have to use your cell phone.
Big thing with my Grand Am is the stability control. I have a buddy who is a domestic hater who was blown away with how well it worked on ice for acceleration.
And the one time I had to use the ABS I found that it not only did it's job, but reacted to what I was doing to prevent me from over compinsating. I thought I was going to crash for sure and was quite suprised to see I had actually avoided the crash.

Good call.
I also liked the Traction Control on the G6. I havent compared it to the Nissan (if it has it) yet, though.
This is a big issue for me, given that I drive about 4000 km's a month on the hwy. Winter driving safety is a must. I'd get an SUV or Truck but the mileage is terrible.
The thing I like about OnStar is the ability for them to track me down if i wind up in a ditch somewhere in the middle of nowhere in Alberta
