Comparing the Chevrolet Website to Camaro Production

So I can use just about ANY Auto search engine, and find Camaros in a 500 mile radius from the Twin Cities MN. (yes, they are there, I have called)

Going through the Chevrolet website, and using the Vehicle Locator, selecting for No Preference, and All Trims yields exactly 0.

Yes 0.

Going to individual Dealer websites yields in stock vehicles, some with the mark-up already added to the price tag as an "asking price".

And yet Chevrolet tells me…………0.

Yes 0.


Now comparing the inability to search their own freaking inventory, with the inability to produce the vehicle in a manner that they do not need to "Quality Hold" the units on the back side of the line seems to me to point to an inherent and systemic illness running through the company.

While I am excided about the new body style, the continual slip shod way that the company seems to be operating, is not filling me with confidence that they will make it out of any kind of Chapter (insert your favorite number here) reorganization, and become viable in the future.

I would have thought being B-Slapped across the last 6 month period would have changed some "Executive Attitude", but apparently not.

It's my opinion that the first thing that waves a Red Flag is the inability to have your IT services keep up your website, which nowadays is First Point Of Contact for so many. As goes IT, so goes Production. It's an Attitude thing, and I am saddened to see it hasn't changed.

Off the soapbox now.

P.S. This is simply my opinion. You, of course, are entitled to yours.
