General Motors fails to improve fit, finish and paint quality on 2015 Corvette C7 Stingray

Apparently petitions submitted to +General Motors regarding truly shoddy quality of paint and body panel fitment plaguing 2014 Corvette C7 Stingray had absolutely no effect on 2015 model year of the newest Corvette generation.  Seems like +Tadge Juechter filed all complaints regarding shitty paint and body panel fitment in the big round filing cabinet right next to his desk...

Here is a random example of what actually seems to be worsening quality (as this could actually be possible?) of the second year of Stingray and certainly a great indication of quality that may be expected from the upcoming Z06 (assuming it does not blow its engine or set itself on fire, either due to engine destruction or leaking fuel tanks).

The red arrows indicate the problem areas, with the body panels refusing to align with their neighbors.  The orange peel is there as well, no surprise at all..



And what is this, there seems to be a problem with molds used to make these superlight panels?  Certainly looks this way.



On the bright side, when the Stingray catches on fire, none of this will matter and at least the super tacky Pep Boys parking lot style pinstriping will disappear (who the eff pinstripes Corvettes in the 21st century?), LOL
