As usual, people talk crap about something of which they know very little, other than what they read in car magazines.
<< Cheapass, poorly built, low quality F-Bodies. >>
Example #1. In reality, F-Body build quality is at its highest point ever. The St. Therese plant is one of the highest rated assembly plants in the world for build quality, and this is by impartial reviewers, not industry employees or car magazine writers who get paid off. Admittedly though, the interior design is old, but they have at least cured all the dash rattle problems.
<< They then plan on having a few more selections of Corvette's as the Corvette plant will be the only rear wheel drive plant GM owns >>
Example #2. There is not going to be additional models of Corvette built at Bowling Green, beyond the current models available. What is going to be built at BG is the new Cadillac Evoq.
Example #3 is the claim that Camaro and Firebird are history. Could not be further from the truth. They will re-emerge, the only question at this point is what platform they will be based upon.
As for the SSR, I kinda like it, although the side mirrors definitely do suck. But then, all you have seen so far are prototypes/mockups ...
