Fella I know worked at Ford when the GTâs (term GT 40 belongs to another company who makes them â so I am told. If incorrect â am interested in updating my data base.) came in told me to â. . be careful shutting the door â the moldings fall off.â

Lashdeep,

 

Concur fully.  If GM can't make a door panel that stays in place on a car that's not even 20 years old yet (and yet a small British maker like Triumph can), what else have they totally "Fouled" up??

Regards,

George,  I'm afraid that if you are worried about floppy panels, the other more serious engineering problems out there will scare the life out of you.

What does everyone think about plastic interior panels like some of the 996 Porsche models? As long as they don't loosen up? What if they chip and lose their finish but still stay fixed in their original position?

What if the interior parts melt(like in a Ferrari)...but don't become floppy?

Does anyone need a drink right now?

Can my interior race your interior?

How can the market put such a high priority on interior quality yet spend $100k, like Adam did, on the mechanical maintenance of their Cayenne?

I'm not a big 911 fan, but even I cannot deny a well sorted early 911 S or a 930. They are AMAZING cars.

I am not going to fight it and convince myself they aren't engineered to be fun and successful.

If interior quality is #1 priority, then so be it.

If you don't like a car just because, then just admit it...

I will...and that's prob why I won't buy a Corvette !!!

Regarding FG's comment below about Vette interiors, I have just the following to add:  one of my best friends has a '96 Vette "Collector Edition", with LT-4 engine.  Gobs of power and torque and fun to drive, but when you close the driver side door, the interior door panel flops loose.  Even my POS 70's vintage Spitfire doesn't do that.  Of course it also lacks the power/torque, but Jeesh, you'd think a company the size of GM could do better than that.  I think the new Vettes are really terrific cars, but like LS, I just couldn't see myself ever owning one, just on general principles (that it's a GM product).  How long before a C7 has a floppy door panel, or worse??

My 2 lira.

George P.
