I have for years been saying that you can only judge true quality of a vehicle after you have owned it for 5 years, not 6 months. If some of these CTF cars are to be driven long term for this purpose then you need at least 200 cars to see if there are defects such as the power window motors in the 4th gen, or the dash cracking in the 3rd gens and so forth.
It would be impossible to establish defect patterns by only testing 50 cars. If GM is going to build 200 CTF vehicles for each new model they bring out so that they can long term test them, I'm all for it!

A long time coming imo.
