Making the V a 100% complete vehicle that lives up to expectations is not rocket science. With limited production quantities, it isn't an unmanageble cost considering lost future Cadillac sales from all of us current owners. Do we have to come up with the fix and build the business case for you since all your 6-Sigma black belts are too busy?

6-Sigma? Not there's an obscure reference. I'd bet that less than 20% of forum members picked up on that.

Not that obscure...but Mr. StealthV has it right. Would I be contemplating a european brand at the moment had the product support on the V been where it should be, regardless of *issues*?

Being a 6-Sigma black belt in a previous life, I know what triggers solving problems - value prop. Our future money in vehicle purchases is what's on the table.

GM knows the Gretrag and wheel hop are a problem. What I think is happening is typical corporate short term thinking and it'd cost too much in time, people and money to fix right. Short term thinking will cost more money down the road when we don't buy any more $50k+ Cadillacs.

GM ponying up a few thousand to fix my V today or me buying a M5 next go around and a non-GM every time after that is what's on the table. Probably 20+ new cars sales to me alone in the next 30 years.

The squeaky wheel always gets the grease. We need to turn up the heat to high.

GM, please fix our Vs. Pretty please, with sugar on top.

Case in point - they've already lost me. My Father-in-law who spent his whole life planning on the baddest vette made for retirement (C6 Z06) has switched brands based on my poor experiences with the V. How many others have changed their mind based on our experiences?

F me once - F me. F me twice - F you.

Please one person and they'll tell one person (you). Disappoint them and they'll tell the world (internet).

WW who still likes his V but hates GM

I considered an M3, but thought I'd like 4dr's and a DVD player... Maybe 2drs and Nav is okay if the rearend holds up...

I have forwarded this post to the moderators once again. WW you have been warned repeatedly not to post trolling for sex. This is really beneath our forum and I for one have had it. In fact I've had it twice.

See ya' later.
