I have been the biggest Chevelle Supporter in this, I use to say if the Chevelle comes back I would be the first to buy one.
But when the new Malibu came out it was as big a disapointment as the Nova was.
The biggest problem is the car manufactues don't respect the true car guy anymore, all they do is slap the name of a real car on a p.o.s. and expect us to all fall over it. Now if they where to make a true muscle car like they bring to concept shows, it might be do able. But even then they still don't make it the way it should be when it goes to production. I have had '66 SS a '71 and every '69 Chevelle made '69 being my favorite being a one year model car. I still have my first 1969 Chevelle it was a plain car garaged it's whole life. most wanted '70's for the 454 but my 350 took it without much effort it wasn't that great really. Now I drew up a modern '69 Chevelle it had Corvette suspension and the motor and trans from the last SS Camaro but trimed updated body lines and pretty much the whole feel and look of the original . Then to look at the malibu flop out there and to here slap the name on that lame GTO body if the 350 hp motor lives up to the hype it maybe acceptable with the Corvette rear in it. If it comes back it needs to be a true car like the 2005 Mustang and the Thunderbird look like the originals so should the CHEVELLE!!!!
I dont want to go for a ride in one more lame a.. Chevy with the sales man telling me wooo this is a powerfull car while I am cramped and driving a lame car with a real name... My only satisfaction came from starting my 1969 elCamino and rattling the showroom windows as it roared and offered to show him what a real car was.
