If a Corvette engine hiccups, the first thing the owner will do is rev it to redline, dump the clutch and lay 300 feet of rubber to see if it cures itself. Problem solved.

Pretty much.
Something something most GMs will run poorly longer than other cars will run...
Friends with American cars had fewer issues than I ever had with any of my German cars (Boxster excepted). The 964 and W124 need more work just due to their age and mileage.
When I went through my last jaunt into the new car world, I bought an American-built Japanese car (first for both aspects for me). Overall, my Boxster has been a huge step in durability/quality/reliability over any previous VW I had.
Can't wait to see if this is actually going to be a Corvette or somehow will be a halo car for Cadillac (or both).
