What does everybody think of the recent General Motors moves?

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.

Never was a Chevy fan but I can appreciate when they do something right. I have often wondered why Cadillac (and Lincoln too) never were able to design a truly beautiful luxury car. Definitely not a fan of the square Cadillacs of recent years although the new Lincoln Continental may qualify. A Corvette "super car". Go for it. See me in about fifty years when they might actually master the design requirements. (Their foray into rear engine never worked) Although I will give them kudos for recent Corvette body styling. If they bring back the Blazer, I pray that they leave the porpoising behind. It was the only automobile that ever made me car sick.

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.

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.
