GM styling
How can one company so consistently produce the most god-awful styling
across so many brands and in both their car and truck lines? |

They have lost there passion, their sense of form and function. Gone
are the days of rolling sculpture. GM isn't alone though, look at what Ford has done to Jaguar. I say give Jag back to the Brits. Rick P.S. Once I would like to see a car that has the front-end like a Triumph Spitfire. Unhook two latches and you have access to the whole engine. |

Same could be said for Volvo, the rolling and always square breadbox.
Actually, I like Ford's styling. It's just that their powertrains (esp. their V6 engine) are crap and none ever held up well for me. Never cared for their warranty skates either. And BMW changed their grill design since when? B~ |

We have been wondering that since 1983. I have been wondering that since the early '70s. Where's the next '67 Chevelle? The next '65 Corvair? |

Had a 67' SS Chevell 396/375HP......Hold on to your shorts we're going for a ride also had a 68' Corsa Bronze in color with Tan interior...of all the car shows I'v gone to, never seen one like it .....Turbo/four barrel Rodcester carb. I remember putting it on a Dyno in 69' 210HP at the wheels. I couldn't keep a damm fan belt on the thing and lastly 67' Vette 327/350HP F.I. roadster w/ side pipes...Now that sucker would give you a nose bleed if you stood on the gas. Rick |
