Default 2014 Stingray - Quarantina Edition

All cars that had to spend an extended period of time in Nashville are well deserving of a special distinction. Let's call them:

"QUARANTINA EDITION"

Now we need our own special emblem.

I believe all C7's coming from Nashville will have the little stingray thing replaced by a small yellow flag.

The fact that GM is taking the time to correct early production problems should be praised rather than made fun of over it. I for one would rather wait longer to get a trouble free car compared to leaving it a dealer to get things fixed. IF GM just shipped the cars all you would hear about is poor quality control in the new C7. This is much ado about nothing. Gm should be praised for doing the right thing about Quality control & delivering a finished product to the customer.

First, it's our own car we''re having fun discussing. Second, even if you look at it from a serious angle, there is nothing wrong with being quarantined. the term Quarantine typically refers to a patient, or animal, etc, held for 40 days to make sure any virus is gone, etc... So basically, being released from being quarantined, is a good thing - Cured from defects.

What do you expect? There are over 300 of us whose cars are in limbo. Whenever we are on the Forum, the first thing on our mind is learning the status of our cars.

You may end up being one of the lucky few. Welcome!

If your car stays past the 40-day mark, you'll qualify as a Super Special Quarantine Edition.

You are missing the point, it is only correct for GM to at least let us know what the problem is and then everyone would feel a heck of a lot better. For as long as they kept our cars, they could have built new ones.
