General Motors

Thanks! it's a 1972. It took me 2.5 years, but I loved every busted knuckle in the end.

if GM produced cars like this for its mass markets, it would definately pull more costumers from other brands... Id definately get one after I finish college. I wouldn't give up my Monte Carlo though... just finished putting a supercharger on the 3800 NA. I never understood why GM didnt put the 3800 S/C in the SS for 00-03. It took them till 04 to do it.

Rick, the Caprice is coming, but as a cop car first. I think GM wanted to let a little bit of time pass between the cancellation of the G8 and the introduction of a Chevy-badged Zeta sedan so that they wouldn't be accused of rebadging.

Think about it, though. The Commodore is only slightly bigger than the Malibu. And the Impala is currently GM's ... Read morebest-selling passenger car. GM doesn't want to replace the well-selling Impala with a rebadge of a car that never sold more than 30k in a year.

That's why the Caprice is the better solution for Chevy. Though I think they'll be replacing the Impala with a LWB FWD Epsilon II, as well.

I agree. Being realistic, I wouldn't say this should tarnish an otherwise favourable public image. But now they are having a little taste of how things/issues etc. can magnify with the size of the company. Not meant as a debate but rather a thought.
