I've seen tons of metallics that matched albeit on different sheetmetal. Mazda figured it out on my RX8. Why can't I expect that from a Chevy?

GM is telling us they can't do it because of some space age angles unknown to man ever before. Whatever. I'll wait until cars start to hit the lot before I buy so I can inspect it on the lot. The fact that they felt the need to respond screams damage control to me and IMO proves there was/is an issue perceived by enough people to warrant a response.

I haven't seen enough of this phenomenon to prove anything. But i've seen it enough on my color of choice to be concerned for my next purchase.
