Yabut that would require them to admit their current styles are crap, which none of the car makers want to do. They also screech and holler about how its impossible for them to do it, which is absolute bullshit. There was a lot of empty space in those old designs that they could stuff modern electronics and safety features into, if they wanted to.
Ah, ya know what, fuck it. Lets just say if Ralph Lauren owns it, I want it.... don't fuck with the styling, just give me some modern amenities. http://www.autoblog.com/2007/10/09/ralph-laurens-car-collection-in-pictures/ I was lucky enough to see the exhibit in person, and God. Damn!
I've seen two of the new Camaros in the last three days. It's a pity that GM waited so long to finally make something that I might want to buy.
Those are sweet looking cars, but its too bad they aren't going to last and that GM never addressed the lack of parity between the Camero and the Corvette. For less than the difference in cost in modifications a Camero can blow the doors off of a Vette, how do you figure that makes Vette owners feel? I imagine the words 'ripped off' come to mind pretty fucking quick.
Yeah, but that's true with just about anything. While deployed I read car mags continuously (until I met the wife the plan was to buy an old CobraJet Ranchero when I got back) and there was an article I think in Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords where they took 10 Grand TOTAL, went and bought a old 5.0 stang and built a car that beat most everything at the track.
I know, I have one, and its street legal and looks like a bag of ass, but its fast as hell, runs low 12s here in Calgary on shit street tires. But it has none of the creature comforts that people pay for... Doesnt matter though, if you're spending $40K on a Camero and with $5-$10K in mods absolutely raping a $65-$75K Corvette, the guy spending his money on GM product is going to be absolutely fucking choked, how does that reflect on GM, and they've tried a ton of bullshit over the years, but the cars are just too close in performance and not far enough in prestige.
For everyone who thinks that US car makers would utterly botch a revival of a certain classic car, I'd like to kick it up a notch. It should be noted that because of the materials used in some years of Trabants, they're considered toxic waste and are extremely difficult to safely dispose of.
