Default Reliability & Quality Control

Dear Tadge:
There is no argument that this has been the worst rollout of the most anticipated Corvette in history. NOTHING but delays, shutdowns, poor logistics, terrible production standards and no pride in their work by UAW employees - and never ending problems with software, fit and finish, inferior parts, bad engineering, and virtually NO Quality control whatsoever. WHY is this?? - you' did not have to rush this new platform and release and unreliable piece of junk??? When will you all get your act together? Maybe you should outsource the engineering and production of this car to Lexus, BMW or Porsche? GM one of the oldest and largest car manufacturers should be ashamed of putting out a car where many new owners cannot even drive 50 miles without throwing codes, having a DCT failure or engine breakdown. SHAMEFUL!

It's unlikely that we're going to be submitting any more questions to Tadge from the CorvetteForum (stay tuned for that news). However even if we were, there's no way in hell this one would be sent. Specially not in its present combative and argumentative form.
