But you guys are actually little ridiculous with comments like this.

First of all: Do you have any idea how many cars are being put out of the factory that are just fine? No. Because they don't post here, or make a fuss. However, go find a thread about someone who loves their new 6th-gen and how it's the best car they've ever owned...you'll find that they're quite common...and more common than "problems" threads. Fact is, we don't know the extent of the problems. You may think you know...but you don't.

Secondly, if you think even for a second that Chevy and the Camaro team is just watching these issues with their hands in their pockets and a vague hope that threads like these will just magically go away, you're absolutely nuts.

They have weekly meetings to evaluate warranty claims, issues with cars, and work to make running changes to production in order to improve quality. Changes to things like window rattles that nobody even notices...you may not have known this, but consider it while playing keyboard engineer...

Likely, they're down the factory's throat trying to remedy the situation at the source. But if you've never worked in the industry, then you have no concept of how such fixes do not happen overnight. Right or wrong...that's the nature of the beast.

Fact is - cars are an amalgamation of complex moving parts and advanced systems designed to work together in utter perfection (that's the goal...). Things break. Repairs get made. That's why every vehicle sold new today comes with a warranty from every company. Just remember that......

Finally, The fifth-generation car had similar growing pains when it was launched...If I recall correctly, just two of the issues was the battery cable coming loose; and on the ZL1 launch, the steering rack came unplugged on a few cars. These things were rectified as quickly as possible, and everyone was too busy enjoying their cars, they forgot about.

So...now that I'm done soapboxing...let me clarify that I don't believe these issues such as the Mosiac paint problems are okay, and I'm not saying that. What I am saying is that some people (with no stake in the situation, I might add) are blowing the scale of the problem out of proportion, and you've got to simmer down a bit.

For the person who wants to look at a Mustang...please do: And report back what you find in terms of panel gaps, fit and finish, and interior rattles while test-driving it. The grass is always greener........

The reason everyone is up in arms is passion for the car. Enthusiasm at its core. Passion and enthusiasm is a great thing. But patience is a virtue...The topic at hand is Netslave's car, and the apparent in-progress remedy for him. Let's let that play out...I for one, am sorry he's got to deal with this, and am looking forward to reading what he has to say as the ball gets rolling.

Hmmm...thank you for that...I now see the light!
