What will be the most common complaints?
Once the C8 goes into mass production, and several thousand are sold and out on the highways and byways being driven by actual owners...not GM employees and magazine writers, what do you anticipate will be the most common problems that we read about on CF? We all know that the C8 will NOT be perfect as no vehicle is, and issues will surface, so what do you think will be some of the most common problems we hear about? Transmission? Fit and finish? Overheating? Heck, I don't know, what do you all think?

How about we think more optimistically? Let’s try this, what will be the most admired/celebrated feature of the C8?

People complaining about other people complaining about (probably petty) crap.

I will go along with that under one condition. ONLY people with positive, uplifting and good things to say about their C8 and owner experience are allowed on CF. It and owner actually does have a problem, they are banned from posting. Any comment that even hints as a negative will NOT be allowed on CF.

Wheres the clutch pedal?
Seriously I agree...Let's try to keep it positive.
I think we will have people coming over in parking lots and gas stations to ADMIRE the car , as well as ask questions.

Too much attention.
