They are having an issue with convertible tops on some of the 2016 Convertibles. According to a source from C6.com, Chevy people were removing the tops in the QC area. They DO NOT want a recall on the camaro right now. The Alpha program in general cost GM a lot of money.
There is a very alarming technique they used to save chassis weight. In order for a larger car like the Camaro to weigh less than the ATS doner car, some very important cuts had to be made....... or should I say they cut too much?
Quality is a very real issue now, I've seen the HELP threads.
Look at the overall big picture. Remember thePill said the target MSRP was $36,505 to $37,995 and they settled at $37,300. thePill also said the 2SS wasn't going to bust $40k. Unfortunately, some of the standard equipment that the 1SS was suppose to get went to the 2SS. The equipment that didn't make a 2SS went on the 1LE list or, as I call it, the 3SS. No new part numbers!!! So you got an extremely watered down 1SS with some pretty weak performance gear. With the removal of the sub-frame connectors, they finally got an SS down to 3700lbs... but man did it cost them :lol:
