No, no, no. People complaining, especially in a public forum, is a primary motivater, along with declining sales, for companies to improve goods and services. Let us try to remember that it was during the 70's thru 90's that U.S. car companies ingnored consumer complaints which almost led to their demise, and no GM would have meant no Corvette. So if it's bad let them know. Just keep the tone constructive.

I just took my Stingray for a ride. I pushed every button, turned every dial, shifted every gear (AT), tried every video screen , flipped every switch, blew the horn, used the turn signals, used the breaks, I could not bring myself to turn on the wipers so there could be a problem there.. No problems, zip, zero, none...sorry I tried...

I'm curious. Why is the location of the battery a negative?

4 days 450 miles. Washed it twice today...... once in the morning and again after a 200 mile trip.

No issues at all.

You never know your car until you wash and detail it...... I was expecting something but found nothing.

Fabulous car, life can change in a heartbeat... I'm not waiting for the perfect car if I did I'd be walking.

BINGO...a voice of reason.

Some folks just don't want to hear it or somehow see it as a personal attack against the toy they just bought.

With 480 miles so far, here are my problems;
1.No anomnymity.
2.20 miles to go before I feel comfortable mashing the right pedal.
3.My wife loves to drive this one.
4.It took an extra 20 minutes to get out of the tint shop, the cute young lady working the office didn't want the car to leave.
5.Having to explain that no, it didn't cost over 100k.
6.No more hot coffee in the upholders, the "console heater" feature doesn't work in this one.
7.Not accumulating as many credit card cash back points on fuel.
8.Unable to give Sam and Big Dan something to complain about.

Picked the car up at 11:00 this morning from a great dealer in Columbus Ohio (Dave Gill Chevrolet) and drove 435 trouble free miles to St. Louis Missouri. The car performed perfectly. All races and ages of folks provided confirmation on my purchase by giving me thumbs up all the way home. You don't know the beautiful lines of the car until you wash it. The design is amazing.

Gonna plagiarize a bit

With 175 miles so far, here are my problems;
1.No anomnymity.
2.Too many miles to go before I feel comfortable mashing the right pedal.
3.My wife won't let me drive much.
4.It took an extra 20 minutes to get out of the tint shop, the cute young lady working the office didn't want the car to leave. Yet to come.
5.Having to explain that yes, your dually cost more.
6.No more hot rounds in the console glock, the "console heater" feature doesn't work in this one.
7.Not accumulating as many credit card cash back points on fuel.

VIN 1614. TR Z51 silver wheels, jet black int.

Got it home this afternoon from NCM delivery yesterday. 640 trouble free, fun miles. Waited to about 580 miles to pass someone on 2 lane road with nearly full acceleration. Wow!

Great riding car Wife took usual mid-aft car trip nap

Great technology too.

Thank you GM, NCM, Tadge J and team, and Rick Conti as well. It all came together.
