Interesting, but, unless I missed it, I saw no mention of our common complaint, orange peel. Either what causes it or what to do about it.

I went to the dealer today and saw my first c7 in the flesh. I'm thinking of getting one next year to carry me into retirement. Overall was impressed with the fit and finish.

THe car was a white convertible. Having read loads of threads on the orange I was still taken aback but just how bad it was on this particular car.

I don't understand why the quality is so bad, my fiat's paint is head and shoulders better.
