So the Ion and Vue will have plastic door panels for the forseeable future but the L-series replacement will be steel bodied.

Conceivably GM can make a good mid sized car. The Sigma platform has produced good results in the Opel Vectra and Saab 9-3. The L-series is based on the old Vectra. Although the new Chevy Malibu is also built on that platform and that car is not exactly what I would call exciting. At least it's just boring and not a piece of shit though.

GM's a mess. Maybe in 15 years they'll be straightened out but it's going to take at least that long if they stick to their traditional doctrine of keeping a model around until it's painfully long in the tooth.
