"Indeed all shipments have been held at this time, and we are performing routine quality assessments on the vehicles." said a GM spokesman for Chevrolet, Monte Doran.

Chevrolet is not yet releasing an exact reason for the production halt. " We may have found a potential issue that we want to resolve." said Doran, who was unable to provide a time frame for when production may resume and deliveries will commence.

I agree... the OLD GM would have let the issue be taken care of at the dealership... losing money paying them and possibly having the fix done wrong... I'm glad they are taking care of it before the cars even get shipped.

Cadillac UNLIKE BMW.. provides RELIABILITY with their ULTIMATE DRIVING MACHINES... unlike Lexus.. provides ULTIMATE DRIVING MACHINES with their RELIABILITY.

Old GM would have said "Eh,good enough for who it's for" and let them roll off the line

RE: GM halts production of the 2012 Chevrolet ZL1
I wonder if they are stopping shipments because they accidentally put some LS9's in a few ZL1's

“The build sheet is the wish list of any racer: lightweight high-revving dry-sump LS7 engine; carbon-ceramic brakes; integrated coolers; true aerodynamic downforce, and a significant reduction in curb weight. This car could only come from Chevrolet, and could only be called the Z/28.”

Now that would be a hell of a thing. It makes me wonder tho... with Gen V right around the corner... why didn't GM up the HP on the LSA and LS9 all around? Bump 'em both by 20HP
