It has bluehair styling your grandfather would love. It's wrong-wheel-drive. Its interior abounds with boring bits straight out of the GM parts bin. BUT , it's a 300hp, V8-powered sleeper, and examples with under 50K miles are !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . So, would you rock it? Or are you not touching that with a 40-foot pole?

Nope. Fail transmission (poor quality) and taller gear ratios for worse acceleration than the other V* powered W-bodies. I'd get a monte SS or possibly a GXP. Personally, I'd get a GTP with the series 3 and just tune that if I want W-body power.

Besides the obvious no because FWD V8 (that makes sense), other no's come from the 4sp in 2008-09!!! But mostly a big no because you would have to look at this interior everyday. Lack luster design with hard as hell plastic, in a semi luxury car, no thanks.

Ouch... The early 2000s really were rough for perceived value in GM cars. That looks like a Cobalt.

You say "early 2000s" but this was made in 2009.

The last major update for this car was 2005MY (with a minor refresh in 2008, where the Super did receive some fake-wood-grain bits). I guess it is late-2000s, the same time as the aforementioned Cobalt.
