I was not complaining about the quality issues so much as discussing them.
They were expected, and it was not the paint that was the major issue. It was the door and the other door. Didn't even mention that the front hood wouldn't close. All new cars have issues, but there are simple 'in your face' issues that no one can miss.
I agree completely about the snobbery of Ferrari and Porshe guys. I tried to buy a Ferrari, but the dealer acted like they didn't care. If my $200,000 is no good I'll take it elsewhere, and I did. I don't even get Porche, never liked them, they are ugly to me (excluding the Carrara GT). Drove a twin turbo before I decided on the GT. It was ok, but you gotta shift at 30,60,90....I like to go go go, not shift shift shift :biggrin The Carrara was just to expensive.
I think all the Ferrari, Lambo and Porche guys dislike us GT guys. We steal all the thunder at the car shows, and paid less.
As for American Quality, I'm sorry to say that I defend my statement. It's sad to pay an American $35 an hour to do a $12 an hour job that Japanese do better for $2 an hour. :willy
