Given that Kappa appears to be a product of skunkworks engineering (re: the above comments), the quality is everything but great and the overall effect is not stunning (its not like Mazda MX-5 was suddenly outclassed), and GM STILL loses 10K per vehicle, one has to question the quality of GM's engineering. This is almost VW-like - VW is a company ran by engineers who use the huge income to finance their pet projects, including expensive production methods for lowly Golfs and such.
