Not if you want it to compare favorable against those cars in that eschelon, in a content and ride quality pov, anyway. Those of us who are more performance minded wouldn't care if NVH is out of control as long as it's amazingly fast, but those "non-enthusiasts" who buy in that market tend to look at that sort of thing and GM needs to keep the vehicle somewhat civil or they'll end up in the position Dodge did with Viper, a great car, but no manners vs other cars in its market.

I agree. I prefer the cars I drive to have a little character. My first car was my 70 Chevelle and it was loud, smelled like exhaust, vibrated and rumbled from the engine and I loved it but no one else did.
