Yes, it does. Or...the reason it was backordered for so long is because they we learning how to copy the changes made by NextGen, to fix the problem. Or...It's GM being GM. Remember how long they produced the SunShell on the 700R4's, knowing that they would probably blow apart with low miles?

Truth is perception. Facts are facts. GM releases it's statements and these video guys go searching for clicks. I suppose that the factual accounting is somewhere in all of that. We just don't know where.
