Chevy runs a full two page colored ad on pages A10-A11.

"Chevy. The only brand to earn J.D. Powers dependability awards across cars, trucks and SUVs. Three years in a row."

Same paper, top headline of B Section:

"GM Recalls One Million Pickups and SUVs in U.S. for Crash Risk
Defect is latest example of problems generated by the growing use of software to control a car’s mechanical functions"

My 21 year old wants one.

He can't get out of semi rural Missouri fast enough imo.

It's a relatively minor software update.

At least it’s not a 95 one ton diesel with twin pipes to roll coal that he wants.

What’s wrong with that? I’d love to cruise Oak Park in one. I’m sure my daughter would love having me pick her up from high school in it.
