Default Gm's Revitalization!!! I love the look of the new chevelle!!

Here's the link!!

http://www.gminsidenews.com/naias/re...econcept.shtml

I am really happy that GM is considering bringing back some of it's bread and butter!! The chevelle and the Belair are just some of the examples!!
For the Pontiac - GTO and Firebird - I hope this is not the last rendering being considered.


I would love to see GM bring back the Belair but, with LSX power!!

Discussion please concerning GM's revitalization!!!

Whoever thought the proposed prices on that page were reasonable needs to be shot. $30K for a 4-cylinder Bel-Air solstice clone? To hell with that. Someone needs to tell the guys at GMinside news that Chevrolet isn't Buick...

Other than that, I love almost all of the concepts! However, I think GM could make a killing if they sold Bel-airs that were RWD for at or under $20k, regardless of the engine! I'd buy one, simply because the small, affordable, rwd coupe market pretty much died when the Fox-mustangs and 240sx's left the scene...

I am almost positive that this has nothing to do with GM, and it is just GMinsidenews that made the drawings. The Chevelle, Impala and a couple of others look nice. The Nomad, corvette and that compact car are ugly.

The Chevelle looks like the new Camaro had sex with the new Malibu:

Many on that site are enthusiasts who dream of vehicles with over 200hp in their garage. They are very disconnected with performance.

Not a bad site though.

The concept Chevelle picture looks neat, but it sure as hell isn't a Chevelle. I hope GM isn't stupid enough to slap a name like Chevelle on some retro-modern garbage and think it'll do wonders for their lineup (or anyone who wants to tell GM to do this). Tweaking, adjusting and evolving products already out there is the key--because they are good products, and that's all they need from year to year. Using the Chevelle name on that pictured car above would be like slapping the SS badge on four-cylinder, gas saving commuter car to try and make it seem 'bad ***'--wait.. ****.. That kind of thing just dilutes how special these cars (and their names) are to us.

The design--the car itself--makes the car, not the name plates.

People need to stop taking the Camaro Concept pictures and making other concept cars out of them. Just because the Volt somewhat resembles the Camaro and uses the same styling doesn't mean GM's next 5 cars will look just like the Camaro.

That is stupid. Chevelle is just supposed to be a nice but cheap car that caters to a comfortable ride and affordability. Not some car that looks to be styled by a kid with spiky hair. Just my 2 cents. The Chevelle was a grocery store car to go from point A to B with some nice styling.

Wink They forgot the Carlo!?

One thing I failed to realize when creating this thread that on the revitalization websight there is no Monte Carlo for the future! I would hate to see GM drop the Carlo!! I like the fact that they have a LS4 V-8 now in the SS even though it is front wheel drive! They are half way there, if they can now make it rear wheel drive car!!!

Those drawings were created by GM Insidenews, they have nothing to do w/ GM. The Chevelle looks alot like the Volt concept from the last year's autoshows.
