What I mean is I don't want to buy a super-reliable but boring as hell Camry.

They're just very good appliances. Not fun.

However, more than a few are waiting for GM to solve a few important problems before pulling the trigger.

Camaro to Camry is: Life to Death

But, service department mayhem is something I can do without.

Fix the tq, the diff, the defrosters leaking onto windshield...



I started a pre-delivery inspection list:

Front fascia – color match to body. Fit to hood (gap and level, flush hood to fascia)
Paint defects – Blemishes, debris, dirt, scratches, and thin coverage
Paint thin or missing in door jambs, under hood, wheels, etc
Defroster vents leaking cold air onto windshield in A/C mode, causing condensation build up.

Differential noise when cold and turning
Coolant leaks at full operating temp
Fluid leaks from engine, trans, cooler lines
A/C recirculation door sticks, pops
NPP exhaust butterflies – for rattles when running
Squeaks or rattles over bumpy surface
Door rattles from speaker bass
Wind noise leaks

Or, have somebody deliver a boring-ass, but near perfect Camry and take a nap...
