got this one for free and had it running in an hour.... it was an awesome beater

What happens when you let study groups influence your design more than the original designer. I remember when they gave one away on one of the very first "survivors". Had to laugh at the lengths GM was going to to get rid of them.

Toyota and the other Japanese auto makers make very nice vehicles. Thank goodness Toyota and Nissan got into the 1/2ton game, otherwise I’m betting 1/2tons from the big three would be over 100k. Got to have competition.

Yup, I loved spending their money.

Who buys cars anymore ? SUV's, pickups and minivans are the rule and the big 3 have enough existing manufacturing capacity for them.

They are putting all their eggs in 2 baskets. Chevy is going to release the newly re-designed trucks and the new mid-engine Corvette and be back on top by 2021.

You're an idiot if this is what you think! What percentage of people buy brand new corvettes?? Maybe 3% if you are lucky!! We are heading for another recession if people do not remove their heads from their a$$. Invest in what the market and people want stop jamming electrification up our ASS$ES we are not all a bunch of tree hugging Hippie’s, what about the rural areas? what about the American farmers, truckers?? Mess around with the u.s auto market and watch the economy crumble again!!!

Sorry for the rant! This $hit pisses me off!

C7 vette is the only thing Chevy has going for them imo. Mid engine vette is sacrilege. Kill the fiero because it was taking corvette sales? Then copy it?! How dare you?! lol.

A Fiero with a supercharged LS motor, there's a thought.

never mind, been done

You must be brilliant and sent your message to GM because the plant that builds the Volt is on the list of those being closed.
