Car model history:GM Vice President John Z. DeLorean. appointed Chevrolet’s general manager a year before the Vega's introduction. oversaw the Vega launch. directing the Chevrolet division and the Lordstown Assembly plant. He put 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. [46] He promoted the car in Motor Trend and Look magazines. He also authorized the Cosworth Vega prototype. and requested initiation of production. [47] In Motor Trend '​s August 1970 issue. DeLorean promoted the upcoming car as one that out-handled “almost any” European sports car. out-accelerated “any car in its price class”. and would be “built at a quality level that has never been attained before in a manufacturing operation in this country. and probably in the world. "[48] In the 1979 book On A Clear Day You Can See General Motors - John Z. DeLorean's Look Inside The Automotive Giant by J. Patrick Wright. DeLorean spoke of hostility between Chevrolet Division and GM’s design and engineering staff; of trying to motivate the division to finesse the car before introduction; and of initiating quality control to make the cars the best quality ever built. "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. "[46]
