Bunko. If you pay good money for the premium version of anything, and this is the best they can offer, it's NOT acceptable to me. There's been several involved with GM that said the ZL1 was the best Camaro yet. I would expect that to mean quality as well as performance. I realize this may or may not be a widespread issue, but then again, the convertible tops became a bigger issue that needed fixing than the original explanation of "this is normal".

It's not about issues themselves as much as it is as to how it's handled by the manufacturer.
The "premium" version is built with no greater quality standard than the rest of the Camaros, top to bottom. Same with the Mustangs, same with the Challengers.

Unless you buy an exotic or a German high-end vehicle, quality will always be inconsistent. The dollar amount you pay is irrelevant. When will people grasp this?
