Cue CNBC talking head:
"TONIGHT ON JIM CRAMER'S MAD MONEY: GM TAKES BILLIONS OF DOLLARS OUT OF YOUR POCKET AND THEN DESTROYS PERFECTLY GOOD CARS!! WHAT'S GOING ON?!! THIS MAKES ME WANT TO EXPLODE!!!"
If GM still felt the need to do that type of run for quality assurance, I think (hope) that they'd be smart enough to do it quietly and under cover of dark instead of parking 50+ Camaros outside for a few days where everybody can see them and take pictures before they go to the crusher.
I will let hope triumph over experience and vote that these are dealer cars.
In "normal" times building a bunch of cars and then crushing them for quality assurance would make sense and regular people wouldn't think twice about it when they heard it was happening. These are not normal times for GM and I hope they are really thinking about PR.
