" And it's built by GM.  Not in America.  How come that can happen?  Huh?

it's built by gm only technically, because they bought the company.
saab was building sylish, refined, etc cars long before the general
showed up with his wallet - and they were for sale because their
profit margin was vanishing.  supposedly gm still loses money on
saabs.

i can't dispute your view of the navigator.  i'm still dumfounded to
see a -truck- with pw/pdl and -leather-, never mind the entertainment
system.
