Gorgeous Z06 and is now on the showroom floor! Came in on the truck to Iowa with mine & a yellow Z07 last Friday. Z06 is dealer stock and for sale, they know it's missing and are sure to have it fixed as soon as the replacement piece arrives. Not an issue!

I am equally upset about the missing "e". I think I'm going to trade my Corvett for a Lexu, or a Acur, maybe a Hond, Fia, Aud, or even a BM...

I hope you don't really believe that Chevrolet does not know how to spell Corvette correctly.

This certainly isn't "news". Maybe the letter was pulled off during PDI. Maybe the car cover caught it and it got pulled off when the cover was removed. Maybe it was never there. WHO CARES!
Re: Hmmm, "Maybe it was never there. WHO CARES?"

Seems to speak directly to the issue of Quality Control, be it at the factory or the dealership. Small potatoes yes, but potatoes none the less. This $100+k car is on a lot for sale to a customer or ready to be received by a customer in less than perfect condition. Quite probably as a result of some quirk of fate. If someone were to run your statement by Mary Barra it'd be interesting to see what her response might be... ? I'm betting she cares plenty! Most companies expect excellence in all phases of the marketing/business plan. (jmo)

This really has to be one of the stupidest threads I have ever seen on this forum and that is saying a lot as of late.

Why do you feel the need to label that guy just for his point of view?

Nooooooo They should leave it the way it is. Makes the car more valuable and will increase the future resale value. It's one of a kind ............

You can't fix something if you don't know - - - but once you do, this is how it should be handled (not saying if it's successful or not, but there is definitely an effort at least)

Thank you for contacting Chevrolet and for your interest in the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette! We appreciate the time you have taken to write us and for allowing us to assist you today.

We thank you for your bringing this issue with the nameplate to our attention. Chevrolet definitely does care about the product we put out and all vehicles go through a very stringent inspection process prior to being released. Our number one priority is to deliver the greatest, highest quality Corvette - to every dealer, to every customer, every time. Again, thank you for your feedback. Customers provide feedback to us regarding our current vehicles, future vehicles, and the different components on them. We will document your comment about a missing letter on the nameplate on a 2015 Corvette.

Additionally, all dealerships are independently owned and operated and each dealership is responsible for their own day-to-day business activities, the quality of service they provide, including the vehicles that are on their lots, as well as any website or franchise naming representation. As a manufacturer, our authority involves the operating specifications of our vehicles and the application of the new vehicle warranty. If a dealership receives a product they believe was damaged or was not properly assembled, there are processes in place to assist the dealerships in rectifying those issues.

Again thank you for contacting us today. At Chevrolet, we strive to provide exceptional customer service. If we can be of any further assistance please email us or call 1-800-950-2438 Monday through Friday between the hours of 8 am to 9 pm Eastern Time, and Saturday 9 am to 6 pm. Thank you for contacting Chevrolet!

Sincerely,

The Chevrolet Marketing Team

. . . . . So, I guess that answers the question of "WHO CARES". We just need to ask the right party before making an all encompassing assumptive statement .....
