[QUOTE="ABC, post: 210738, member: 5737"] Well lots to review here. I think the bottom line from the post by ISO is that you should always review the car you purchase and be happy with it before you take it off the lot. Having said that I am comfortable with GM warranty on their vehicles. So I for one am not worried. The second shift is already fully trained and was producing 80 cars per shift in the time prior to the COVID shutdown. It is not a new shift and the people on it are not unfamiliar with the build process. They should hit the ground running starting July 6th. Given that Bowling Green Assembly produced 2,700 is cars prior to the shutdown, I think we have a reasonable idea on the quality coming off the line and aside from the odd criticism of fit and finish on the interior and body panel gaps on the outside, pretty normal minor stuff. The one oversized screw in the driver door appears to be the one tech issue that is being addressed by GM. So not sure what smoking gun would be causing specific concern with the C8. The car by all accounts has been fantastic by those who have had them in use. Have not seen one bad review or unhappy buyer review yet. Right now the day shift running in BGA is proven they can hit 80 cars/day shift. I just hope they can hit at least 70/second shift. 150 cars per day will allow them to hit most if not all o f the 20K orders in the system by the new revised model year change date of end of November. Also all of these 20K orders are "sold orders" meaning if the retail purchase walks away or cannot close the sale, then the dealership is on the hook for the car. GM is not taking any hit or loosing orders at all on the C8. Given the premium some people are paying to buy a built car now, dealers have little to worry about in moving cars they end up keeping. Here's to getting our cars as fast as possible! Well built of course. [/QUOTE]
