I've been curious about other peoples opinions on some of GM'S recent decisions. I.E. 19 Silverado body and styling, 19 mid engine Corvette, and the recent resurrection of the Blazer and (possible) Chevelle.

The mid engine Corvette will bring it into true super car status, IMO. The Camaro looks worse, so I bought the 2018 instead of waiting. I doubt that the Chevelle will come back though. I'd love to see it.

I would love to see the chevelle come back as well, but they need to try and incorporate a classic look while still keeping some updated features

TSgt David L. Some of the concepts dont look too bad. But my thing is, I dont want what happened to the dart and the Impala, to happen to the Chevelle. It's a classic muscle car that got modernized, and they tore out half of the cylinders.

I just hope they can figure out how to get the running lights to not burn out on their full size trucks and SUVs. I've heard a lot of reasons why it happens but it should be an easy fix.

I haven't really seen alot of issues with running lights burning out on the trucks and suv's. I've seen some issues with the new body Traverse wirh water/moisture getting in the tail lamps, but that's about it.

I cant wait to see a production mid engine Corvette. Heck, the zr1 is faster than everyone except a top notch Porsche on Virginia International Raceway. Cant wait to see what a mid engine vette will do. Also, the new Camaro is out here with even better handling and power than most entry level supercars. I think GM is definitely headed in the right direction. My only wish is that they would build a car for the drag car niche. And I mean a production car like the Challenger, or even a 4 door like the Charger. I know they had the SS sedan, but it was barely even advertised. Maybe try again? Something to fill the 1/4 mile folks hearts. We already know they have outstanding track cars.

CPO Mark Robinson GM did import the "GTO's" in the 2000's, and I only say it like that, because it was not truly a Pontiac. All they did was just talk to the aussie branch of GM and say. "Hey, Pontiac is about to die and we need something that will hopefully bring us out of the grave." So Holden just sent over the Commodore and had Pontiac rebadged it as the GTO. But it still was a good car, in my eyes.

SPC (Join to see) - I grew up in the 70s and so I have a lot of respect for the old muscle cars such as the original GTO but I have no doubt that the new cars coming out would rip them apart. Old motor heads will argue it all day long but look at the stats. And speaking of Holden, I wish they would bring the V-8 supercars to the U.S. Best road racing I've ever seen.

CPO Mark Robinson Yeah, cars a definitely not what they used to be. I honestly prefer the older muscle cars, just for the fact that they look absolutely gorgeous. But however, performance wise, even though they were cranking out crazy horsepower numbers (for the time), technology happened and they figured out how to do just about everything better. My idea of "the perfect car" that would get the classic look but the modern performance would be a 67 Shelby GT 500 with a S/C Coyote.

SPC (Join to see) - I agree. Back in the early 80s I had a 1970 Nova with a straight 6 and a two speed auto. It was a dog but I loved it. It had character, personality and a joy to drive.
