This link should take you to my image hosting site. If not let me know. They are all photos of the cars close up. I tried to shoot everything. 72 in all.
Still have the cars on the carriers. About half of them that I saw yesterday are still sitting outside by the plant. The other half is on said carriers. I asked the UAW guys and they said the carriers were headed to MI for proving ground testing. They mentioned some marketing photos taken at the plant last week. So they think you guys should watch the magazines.
More importantly they said they have had no fit and finish issue that have been out of the ordinary. They expect to start shipping in June. They told me that means that dealers will have them in June. The only delay at this point would be if they find something at the proving grounds. They would not comment on any specific fit and finish issues.
Of note, I spoke to a guy in Paint. He said that he has recently painted some Sky body panels. He also said that there has been no issues in Paint with any colors.
I did sit in the car as well. I am six four 225. It is a snug fit at the hips, knees and legs. Center consol is very high and is the main reason for the tightness. It is much less roomy than my 2000 vette (It is gone now don't ask). Plenty of sholder room. Not great visability but adequate. Plenty of head room with top up. Top looks great by the way. Enough room for my long legs to just work the clutch. Inside materials are nice for GM but not Lexus. Car looks very nice though. Fit and finish is typical GM. Trunk is very small and with the top down is non-existant. All that said it looked like a blast to drive.
Fire back any questions. I will get back on tonight.
