Default Heads should roll!
The attached is a full page picture from the premier edition of "NewRoads" magazine published by Chevrolet. this picture is on page 37. Can anyone find the problem with the photo? The editor should have caught this unless of course the editor is also the quality control inspector at BG. Then I guess it's ok.

I have an early VIN 28x and was happy to notice no gap, now after five months the Grand Canyon has appeared! Has anyone addressed this with the dealer and got the fender to spat gap resolved?

Heads should roll, but they won't.

I received that magazine about a week ago but haven't had a chance to read it yet. Man, that's some **** poor fit and finish!

I believe it was posted a long time ago. Pre-production car and not the norm for production cars.

it is always surprising how robotic people have become. No common sense or pride in their work.

Could someone possibly have plowed the front splitter into a parking block ? This could cause the kind of misalignment you see here. don't know what the rest of the front looks like from picture here. I'm willing to give GM slack on this ( unless mine gets delivered looking like that ! )lol

Buy a black car, you won't notice the gaps.

Yeah, and some of us think a "hand assembled" engine is better.
