meaning......?

that 50,000 OTHER people that dont frequent internet forums, that are just regular everyday joe schmoes are buying MORE cars than US. the majority of the buyers of this car are the regular people out there. and a lot of our new members have joined AFTER they bought the Camaro. so you can take that 10k on here and take off about 3,000 or so.



your next point is spot on. but, what if a list hasnt been made or completed? yes, its been 4 months, but how many cars have been made? how many components installed? how long was the initial QC hold when this issue arose? a month or so? these things take time.

as for a recall, it has to affect a larger amount of cars than what it is to warrant a recall. if say 1 in a 1000 odds that a shaft were affected, and there's... say 20,000 m6's out there, what sense would it make for GM to recall 20,000 cars to fix 20 transmissions?


not saying I like it, but I would do the same thing if I were in their shoes.

Well, I wasn't tallking only Camaro5 members, anyone with a Camaro. Hell anyone that trusted in GM enough to still buy a car from them recently. I think we deserves the best treatment that GM can provide. Our money (bailout and car payments) is helping keep them going. yes I want GM to

I'd been cool if GM said we are going to call everyone affected, but its going to take X months. But they only said they were going to call. So we assume it was something that would be happening in short order. It is what it is. I hope mine doesn't break, but if it does it isn't like I can do much about it. I'll be mad, but I'm sure GM doesnt' care if I'm mad.
