In general, the price makes me uncomfortable. Can GM deliver top to bottom repeatable/reliable performance at this level for $60-70k? Maybe ...

When did vehicle stability, handling, steering, and braking become "reliability" issues? You make it sound like GM doesn't do any computer-aided engineering and testing. I'm sure GM did a shitload more "shakedown" then any of the car mags or internet video whores will ever do. Software and sensor integration... really?
The C7 had some minor heat issues, since corrected. The C7 base MSRP was $55K IIRC. How will the C8 be that much different? They moved the engine to the middle of the chassis, it's not that drastic of a redesign. |
I kinda lumped it all together ... mainly cooling, brakes and xmsn.
The other topics are more in general to find out what the vehicle is capable of.
