General Motors witholds delivery of 2015 Corvette C7 Stingrays equipped with 8l90 8-speed automatic transmission

While the 2015 Corvette Stingrays equipped with 7-speed MANUAL transmissions are as of today being delivered to the +General Motors dealers, all 2015 8-speed AUTOMATIC Stingrays remain on quality control hold of undetermined duration.

Isn't this another classic, courtesy of +Tadge Juechter  and his fine engineering team or what?

On the bright side, this is the first time with the Stingray that someone at the Bowling Green plant decided to pull the plug on deliveries  instead of letting the buyers figure out what is wrong with their new cars.  Did someone manage to stay awake and alert at BG plant?  Sounds like the new plant manager may be off his ass and being proactive, unless this is all a pure coincidence.

Certainly, a great confidence builder for the buyers opting for the new "faster than PDK" slush box.

Hey Tadge, how the eff could you make your claims regarding 8l90 in Corvette if the darn thing refuses to work?  Will the marketing claims regarding comparisons to PDK carry fine print disclaimer "superior to PDK when functioning properly?).  Hopefully that second transmission cooler on Z06 really works...
