Thus, it comes as no surprise that the history just repeated itself during Kelley Blue Book (KBB) test run. Everything was fine, until the driver decided to take up +Tadge Juechter on his claims of MOST CAPABLE CORVETTE EVER and this is what happens next:
Maybe, just maybe it is time to pull all the marketing bullshit off the GM website before someone dumb enough to buy this piece of shit as a high performance car decides to sue? Perhaps it is time to switch the marketing scheme to something like the LIGHTEST CORVETTE EVER or BEST QUALITY CORVETTE EVER or THE BEST PAINT JOB CORVETTE EVER? This may require some work but should be considerably easier to accomplish than the current bullshit claim.
Here is an idea for Tadge: revise those horsepower and torque emblems to include little disclaimer like GOOD FOR 5 minutes or UNDER 80 degrees only or whatever... Just make it small enough so old geasers cannot see them but the marketing fraud charges can be avoided.
So, the car could not handle a turn with the stability control on or off, the throttle has a mind of it's own, it overheated during a photo shoot, there was something wrong with the suspension.
ReplyDeleteThat is what happens when you take a car with leaf springs front and rear and a old tech motor that has a hair drier mounted on top.
FYI, I just saw a new GM mistake, a Callaway Truck with the same mistake of a motor. This thing is 80k, and what good is it. It gets 13 mpg, it can't tow(heat soak) and a tuned only Ecoboost will use it for traction.
That sums it up pretty well, LOL. That "supercar" bargain is really a complex and overpriced piece of shit.
DeleteThis review is so typical of every other fucking automotive journalist review. There is only one automotive based show that I've ever known to be completely honest with it's audience, and that was the now defunct "Top Gear." If a car was shit, Jeremy, Richard, or James would have absolutely no problem telling you "it's shit". "Fifth Gear" is pretty honest about this too, but not quite as critical. Why is it that we have to look to Britain to get honesty from automotive journalism? What a fucking joke!!
DeleteComments like, "the stability control system intervened....stopped......intervened....stopped"; "Track mode won't give me full power" yet he refers to it as a "helpful feature"; and, the best of all "Vexing issues aside, it is undeniably capable." Capable of what?????? The car overheated after some mild driving in mild conditions, yet he says it "Demands to be driven at a racetrack." Complete and utter bullshit. The car demands to be driven at a racetrack, but performed horribly. He spun off without stability control on, and I personally didn't think it looked like a "boneheaded move." In fact, it looked like he hit a patch of ice on a winter road!!!!! In the future, if you're going to lie to us, at least have the decency to edit out the shit that reveals you are lying. It's one thing to be lied to, it's another to have my intelligence insulted at the same time!!
I love all of the boasting....sounds great, looks cool, it's a bargain. Is this dipshit Tadges son? Still at the end of the day it breaks down. Who the fuck would buy this car ever? Really.
