would you agree with chevy to make a 2005 chevelle

[WhoMeLes]

I work in the AAI/Ford plant that makes the Ford Mustange this car is all the rage and sales are in flight.Yes I own all chevey products 69 chevelle included. YES! I think GM should make the chevelle again and keep it a rear wheel drive. I here truck drivers saying that they think the Mustange is hot but they would like a chevelle like the old ones and that GM is lagging behind! What a shame.

[dank4569]

Of course they should make bring back the chevelle. They just have to make sure that they dont screw it up. If they do it right they can have a fast car with a lot of supporters. They just have to make sure its priced around the mustang, and that it can beat the crap out of any ford or rice burner around the same price

[blue4X4]

Yes they should only if they can get it close to something classic. Like ford did with their latest mustang. I am not a ford guy, but they did good on that decision. Just make it rear wheel drive and Id put my own Blown V-8 in it, hehe.

I cant stand to go to a car hop or a cruise-in or a graffitti night when you see a bunch of nimrods with their bone stock 2005 corvette-Big deal. Its got to be a classic to be there or look like one. So they better make it look like one for me to buy. Like the look of the possiable late 60's camero they may do. Id buy that!

I would say NO! Look at what happened to the last Pontiac GTO, what a joke! Let the Chevelle have it's rich history!

[dnice386]

They shouldn't bother making a 2005 Chevelle. Bottom line is it won't really be a muscle car and it will cost like $40,000. It'll be some computer programmed, fiel injected crap like everything else out there. The Malibu has been ruined, the Charger's been ruined, the Mustang's been ruined. Everyone does it and all of them suck. If you want a muscle car, find a 60's, 70's and maybe up to 81 of something cool.

The 2005 Mustang GT's 4.6 liter V-8 weighs 75 pounds less than the previous Mustang GT's 4.6 liter V-8 thanks to an aluminum block instead of an iron block.

The new Mustang convertible's chassis has more than twice the torsional stiffness of the 2004 Mustang convertible.

The new convertible was designed alongside the new coupe.

Car & Driver ranked its rigidity on par with a BMW 3 series convertible.

The new Mustang did very will in the GS class of Grand-Am Cup road racing this year.

Safety standards, emissions, other regulations, and what not drive up the costs of cars today.

I doubt the new 505 hp LS7 from the new aluminum Corvette Z06 will find its way into a new Chevy coupe as the new LS7 is hand-built.

i say they should under some conditions, one, they look like the originals, 2 they drive like the originals, and 3, they are under 13,000. (like a caviler)

[Jaguar D-Type]

The Chevy Cavalier is no longer built. The new Cobalt, a vast improvement, has replaced it and it starts at $14,490.

I actually think that GTO re-skin to a Chevelle was quite ugly, but the 2001 impala was "very close"
to capturing the 70 Chevelle "look" -- notice the dual circular headlights, the split grille and the rear
quarter window --- That's a Chevelle -- also notice the sharp fender flares and squared openings.
Take that body and put it on a CTS-V chassis and the Chevelle is reborn.

The new Impala is also ugly -- looks too much like a Altima/Camry to me.

Leaked Camaro concept pics





I saw the new Impala at the L.A. Auto Show and it had better fit and finish than the previous one.

[blue4X4]

being 2005 is over, my answer is a solid no. But they will be remaking the 67-69 camero body style in 2009. I have a feelin it may debut before that though. They just showed the prototype at the Detroit auto show and it is well done at around a projected $30,000.00.

[SpinnerCee]

All I can say is that with $30K, my '70 (w/402) Chevelle's cracked and fading patina, flaking chrome, cracked and missing rubberware, and rusting wheelwells could get a serious makeover. LOL

Heck, I'd even have enough cash left over to add EFI to the 396, so I don't have to tweak the Holley everytime the weather changes.

The spirit of the "musclecar" is too much engine in a cheap package -- Honda has figured this out, it's totally amazing what overhead cams and forced induction (turbo/blower) and electronics can do for four cylinders with 1/2 pint bores and front wheel drive -- just imagine what it can do for 8 coffee-can bores.

One of the "hottest" FWD compacts I've ever owned was a 92 Cavailer Wagon with the 2.8L V6 (I think it had the Z-24 tune) --- That's what we're talking about nowadays. Big engine, little car, hold on!

I don't want a factory built, limited edition, only 1000 built, collector car to sit in my garage under lock and key -- I want an everyday driver that looks good, sounds good, starts every morning, and has the potential to be fun to drive, even when loaded and going uphil.

Sure but don't rush it and trash it like they did the new camaro......


Hate to say it, but whoever did the new mustang , did it right......

New Camaro concept

Chevy may make a rwd Impala by 2009.

The Camaro concept's 400 hp LS2 has cylinder-deactivation that gives it 30 mpg on the highway.

[ronvb]

Yes most definetly yes.In fact I wrote a letter to Chevrolet last year giving them reasons and suggestions.
There is talk about bringing back the Camaro with the 400 hp vette engine.
We need something to whip the Mustang with!
