nice. shame about the bailout though. can't stomach the idea of buying anything from them anymore. | ||

I'm a bowtie guy - but I gotta say that I hope GM isn't using nostalgia as a reason to buy - none of the cars in the billboards are any newer than 40 years old. "We used to make cool cars - aren't we great?". What's the message here? | ||
| Mr_grumpy |
Perhaps it's a sneak preview of the new model name. The new "Chevrolet Billboard" at a dealer near you. They could resurrect some of the famous names, The Buick Old, The Pontiac Nostalgia, The Oldsmobile 42 & a half (due to downsizing), or the Oldsmobile 5 Billion (due to inflation). Plenty more ideas where that came from, tell GM I work cheap. | ||

Nope, the new model will be called Chevy SS Performance. | ||
| Crusty |
I bet it lives up to its name. | ||

If they're trying to convince me I should buy a classic car instead of a new one, it might work. | ||

Chevy, Chrysler and GE have been coming out with some spectacular advertising for years now. Advertising that strikes a chord. There is no doubt in my mind why they are pouring so much money into ads. | ||

Hell, Chrysler has been hanging by a thread for years and years, always had the coolest cars on the road in the 60's and 70's and I like underdogs so I will probably keep buying their stuff. So far my Wrangler and Viper have not let me down a bit. I'm sick of all these cars from Japan everywhere (ya whatever, they're made here blah-blah, but the profits still go back to Japan  ). | ||

Chrysler? You mean, Fiat? And speaking of, I'd take a 500 Abarth any day. Italians understand bikes and cars. | ||

Every GM that I could be excited about, they kill. The new T/A retro 70's based off the Camero platform The Fiero (I like mid engines - best performance out there for hills and corners) The Buick GNX The Nomad concept The Factory Hot Vega (sleeper in disguise) The Typhoon / Cyclone and yet they are so proud of the Aveo - ugg | ||
| Mr_grumpy |
It pains me to say it but I've not had a Ford or a GM product that wasn't anything but trouble, my current Ford needed a new engine at 60,000 miles! The last GM product I had was an Opel Omega (Cadillac Catera if you've never seen one) with the 2.5 straight 6 BMW diesel in, It drove nicely but the finish was p**s poor & it rattled & squeaked like nobody's business. However all the Dodges, Plymouths, FIATs, Lancias, & Alfa Romeos I've owned have been outstanding. I wouldn't condemn Chrysler just yet, I think FIAT will rejuvenate it given the chance. If the New Dart, that's based on the Giulietta/Delta platform, handles half as well as the Alfa, it'll be a cracking tool. | ||

Maybe Our fifth Columnist would prefer a Lada over a Chevy?  | ||
| Mr_grumpy |
Lol, The Russian freighters that used to come in to the East coast ports in the UK always left with a deck cargo of old Ladas. It was the cash trade for the crew. My mate Steve & I once wedged the running gear from a Ford Granada into one of those. 2.8 Cologne V6, & 5sp manual, with a Capri back axle. It was in that crappy green colour they did, street sleeper, shredded many a tyre on that car from the lights. | ||
| Danger_dave |
Best thing to do would be get three stout Russian lads and push that Lada backwards rapidly for about 30 feet. | ||
| Geedee |
Bought and sold a few Ladas during my time in the UK. Had a few Skodas as well, and always made a profit. People who loved them would probably have liked Buells :-). I found the biggest critics of them had never owned one, just like Buell critics. | ||

Fiat is the future of Chrysler? What is the current market for the brand? (hint, think Hemi). I think it will take more than some hot euro model and a Hollywood delinquent to sell the Chrysler brand.. The Chevy billboards are just silly, unless they are going full retro. I've always been a Chevy guy back my first 4 wheeler, '68 Camaro RS, but we're down to two in the drive and likely my current Silverado will be my last. | ||

I probably wont buy another domestic car/truck again. | ||
| Needs_o2 |
Guell, It's a good thing we don't have to compete with foreign contractors, they'd put you and me out of business in a heartbeat. By the way thanks for helping our economy! LOL! | ||
| Guell |
needs_o2, I wouldnt worry about foreign contractors, as i wouldnt compete with them anyways, 90% of the time our prices are higher than the competition, its our policies and the work we do that gets us hired. If the american auto manufacturers worked like that i might consider them again, sadly ive had far more issues with the fords than anything foreign ive had. |
