GM gave me two brand new Cadillac's when I had unresolved issues with them. I never complained or demanded anything from them. My dealer and the reginal manager offered me brand new replacements on two cars that were two years old with 30 thousand miles on them. My GM experiences have been very positive over the years including many repairs after my warranty expired. That's where a good relationship with your local dealership can pay dividends.
I do feel like the cadillac dealership experience is a far cry better than most "chevy" dealers. I think it has been mentioned here before that vette care, especially C8 care, ought to be moved under the caddy dealership service depts'umbrella since they seem to be more consistently decent.

Lots of things get mentioned,.
The C9's are going to start being built this June/July. And it's all electric.
New interior coming for '26.
Corvette to be discontinued.
Stingray discontinued replaced by Grand Sport.
Corvette to have a SUV version.
Corvette to be it's own brand.


Oh, "halo car". Does anyone think Chevy considers ANY car they make a halo car. Maybe the salesperson trying to convince someone to buy it buy no one else at Chevy. The car is just a "unit" on a sales leader board.

I didnt say it was mentioned vette care WOULD be moved. I said it SHOULD be moved (ought to be means should be). Huge difference and completely unrelated to your other comments about C9, vette SUV, etc. Good grief.

So you want me to add "should" to all those?

I think you totally missed my point.
