Imitation Is Not Flattery

What is wrong with Chevrolet? The only decent hot-rod type car they make any more is the Corvette. This vehicle is now priced far above what the normal guy(or girl) can afford.

 

          Have you seen the Impala lately? Low power, front wheel drive, and shitty looks keep most people from buying what was once a very good muscle car. The Monte Carlo? It has incurred the same horrible treatment as the Impala!

 

         I am a Ford man all the way, but I have always respected the looks, power, and build-ability of Chevy cars. I have worked on all brands of cars and some trucks, and I was always amazed at the pure, raw, power that could be wrung out of some Chevy motors. Simply amazing.

 

         Have you seen the new Chevy trucks? From the rear, you would swear that it was a Ford truck. The front holds the same mystery, as the Chevys look like someone jammed a Ford and Dodge truck together, and came up with a bastard child! For some years now, Chevy has simply copied Ford, and now Dodge also with their trucks.

 

          Isn't there anyone with an original idea on the design team at General Motors? Look at what the Chrysler Corp. is doing. The new Dodge Ram, the 300M, the new Charger, the PT Cruiser, the list goes on and on. New, fresh, original. Now, I know the 300M and the Charger were produced long ago, but I think it is great that Chrysler is actually trying to bring back the "muscle car" era.

 

           And look at Ford. Anyone want a hot new Mustang? You can purchase two of them fully tricked out for what one Corvette costs! The Ford Focus is another vehicle that I call a "pocket rocket". Small, unassuming, and terribly quick! Is it any wonder that it takes Road Rally trophies around the world in amazing numbers?

 

           Chevrolet, PLEASE restore our heritage with some great cars! Ford has restyled the Mustang to a retro look of the sixties and seventies. Could you imagine a re-worked Nova, or Chevelle? The possibilities are endless. Yet Chevy refuses to try their hand at something like this. I don't understand their thinking....or lack thereof.
