I would have trouble actually finding a fault as a product line. As a platform it is very versatile. The cars lend themselves very well to customization. Each model has issues I do not like, but what one model may lack their is another that has it.

I'm not sure you can call the GNX slow by any comparable factory vehicle. 4000lbs ride , 276hp 13.5sec 1/4 , in factory trim out the door.

Your right but im not putting a definition on fast either. I can agree, the gnx is a speedy car. The one thing that i like about g bodies is that if you dont find 13.5 sec in a 1/4mi "fast", there are many doors of opportunities to swap in a beast of a power house from a BBO to a LS-X.

The ac/heater box and the heater system.The box is way too big,especially if you run a big block like I do.And the heater system itself is crap.The power windows are too slow.The frame could be a bit stronger.

These car were never designed to last this long. They are 1980's technology and for the purpose they were built for they performed great. They are cheap and easy to repair and tons of parts were interchangeable unlike todays vehicles they sell.
