Lownslow Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 says chevelle on the fenders but the car itself is no bigger than a cruze
Rob McKee Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 Oh man, that is a cheap shot to the classic chevelle. It's as bad as the new Dart. What are the thinking?
Chuck Most Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 Kind of looks like that little robot Honda built a few years back.
Casey Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 It looks like a blend of the late '90s Cavalier coupe and the new Camaro. While you didn't post much info about the car, I think Chevy is pretty satisfied with the name recognition they have in "Impala", and I wonder if they are really considering bringing back the Chevelle name or if this is simply a show car exercise.

coreyh29645 Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 that chevelle is just as crappy looking as the GTO mess a few years ago. im a huge pontiac guy but that was just a disappointment
CadillacPat Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 The last two "Cars" produced in America were the 1973 Riviera and the 1975 ElDorado. Since then everything on 4 wheels produced in America has simply been a "mode of transportation" CadillacPat

62rebel Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 reviving a treasured name and putting it on the latest box-o-dung is just slightly better than putting a prom dress on a pig and calling it the queen.
Monty Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 IMO, the two L's in the name should be replaced with two T's.
Guest Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 Just put a horizontal line through the l's and call it a Chevette. Now that would be a name to bring back! BTW, the Chevelle's name got ruined back in '73. After that,there was no hope for it ever again.

Junkman Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 (edited) Why do they still use these fonts that look like they were lifted from a wedding invitation in North Yorkshire? Totally ridiculous, especially when considering that the scriptplate is the only thing on the car that isn't bland. I honestly believed it can't get worse than what GM did in the 80s. Well, obviously it can. Much worse even. Edited January 5, 2012 by Junkman

Hippie Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 I know your all going to hate me but I kinda like it. Manly because its not a extreme undo able thing like most concepts, there's no big scoops, or wings, or ground effects If you angle the back of the roof a bit, like a 45 degree angle, getting rid of the rounded back it would look fine in my eyes
Lownslow Posted January 5, 2012 Author Posted January 5, 2012 Yuck. they decided to upsize the malibu into a more manlier vehicle

I know most of you don't line the Chevelle name, would you be complaining if it were called Nova? Seems like it might be a good vehicle to revive the Z-24 badge with
SuperStockAndy Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 (edited) they decided to upsize the malibu into a more manlier vehicle The front end looks almost exactly like my mom's Equinox... Edited January 5, 2012 by Andy C.
