You are going to see Guy use a "smiley" he's never used before regarding a car design:

Re: Chevelle update

I am sorry that looks NOTHING like my brother in laws 70 Chevelle thank you very much.

I dont think Gm is going to produced the Chevelle Maybe as a concept car but not as a production car. Someone is dreaming.

Re: Chevelle update

That one falls somewhere between abomination and tragedy. It is based off of that lame Hot Rod magazine concept that was then turned into a Photochop of a new GTO, which then became a hack job on a new GTO.

This is probably the worst execution of a half-decent idea I have ever seen. It might be fast, but for what they charge, I'd put that motor in an actual 70.

Re: Chevelle update

The tail end is hideous...they tried to hard to make a literal interpretation of the 70 Chevelle.

For that matter the front end is equally, if not more, hideous.

Re: Chevelle update
