Question 2007 Silverado Classic SS

why do they call the carryover a "classic" cant it just be the Silverado SS??

why do they need to make the name classic if they are using the older platform..like the Malibu Classic.. just kinda wondering..

and thought the Silverado was being cancelled?? or is it?? one more year running???

Re: 2007 Silverado Classic SS

You've got to differentiate it somehow. There are 2 different versions of the Silverado this year, the old and the new, both 2007's. What would you call it?

Ahh, I didn't catch you were talking about the SS in the title, thought you meant the regular Silverado.

Re: 2007 Silverado Classic SS

looking on chevy's website, I see that there will still be every old 2007 model there part of the MY. I guess that is why they are going to call them classic. I would find it an easy descision if I was in the market for a truck, get the model that actually looks new

Re: 2007 Silverado Classic SS

The "Classic" name probally isn't finished yet. I'm pretty certain that the current Impala is going to overlap not just with the upcoming RWD Impala (possibly called Monte Carlo?), but it will also overlap the new bigger Malibu as well.

Re: 2007 Silverado Classic SS

So they'd have a fwd 'impala classic' and a rwd 'impala'? Calling a fwd car a 'classic' seems odd, but what else can they do?

What?

Are you suggesting the fabled "New Impala" may be a Monte Carlo... sedan?

That cant possibly be their best idea...

I thought the new "Impala" was supposed to be styled after a early/mid 60's Impala? Seems like the MC name wouldn't work here?
