I did forget the malibu also. What I was talking about was the introduction of cars that used the great names of the past and replaced them with wimpy, FWD, econoboxes!!!! GM is famous for bringing back names of cars that had a great heritage and not being creative enough to not come up with a new name. Granted, I think some (and I mean some) of the cars with names from the past are good, up to date vehicles, but come on, these cars have no personality like those of the past. Look at the Mustang (the new ones), good looking car, good performance, lives up to it's name. Show me a Impala, Monte, Nova(80's), malibu, etc. that lives up to it's namesake of the past, you can't. That's my point. I live and breathe Chevy, but come on, give us something to be happy about. SSR, HHR not really. Camaro, where is it? Firebird, again, not around. GTO, decent, but could be better. The only car that is REAR WHEEL DRIVE that is worth any excitement (I can't believe I'm saying this) is a FORD, ie-MUSTANG. GM, other than the Vette, is catering to the masses with the econoboxes and not to their heritage of performance and being above the competition. Look at Toyota, need I say more?? Will exceed GM as the biggest manufacturer in the US, give me an f-ing break.

I'm done venting now, you may continue
