Chevrolet Vega: Difference between revisions

In the book ‘’'On A Clear Day You Can See General Motors', John Z. DeLorean's Look Inside The Automotive Giant’’ by J. Patrick Wright, DeLorean said:<blockquote> "This program produced a hostile relationship between the corporate staffs, which essentially designed and engineered the car, and Chevrolet Division which was to sell it. My most important problem was to motivate the division to get the car into as good shape as we could before introduction. I initiated an intense program for quality control with the target of making the first cars off the assembly line the best quality cars, from a manufacturing standpoint, ever built". As the starting date approached, ."we put tens of additional inspectors and workers on the line and introduced a computerized quality control program in which each car was inspected as it came off the line and, if necessary, repaired." "While I was convinced that we were doing our best with the car that was given to us, I was called upon by the corporation to tout the car far beyond my personal convictions about it."<ref name="automotive1979">Wright, J.
