Very good............great choice. This happens to be my favorite Impala model, the '68. Alas, it saddens me that we may never see this kind of automotive grace again. The very last of automotive...

Thanks. Those are a lot of codes to remember, however I think I can remember the eras of certain cars. The epsilon chassis debuted in the US at around '04 with the ugly duckling Malibu (I may be...

GM knows what butters their biscuits. They will continue to offer and make ICE vehicles as their market demands. Not to say that EVs are not innovative, but they are in their birth stages, where GM...

I agree. That may not stop an aftermarket company from ordering a few '24s, stock piling them and then making them over to resemble a concept Z28. It won't fly in terms of collectability because it...

Actually this is encouraging. I may disagree with many, but I see the current C8 as being a bit unresolved, in both its design and presentation of variants. I feel that the price is also a bit out...

When the SS was launched I had already purchased my ZL1. A few years later I had an opportunity to replace my daily driven Malibu. I couldn't justify buying an 'SS (it was pricey used) and driving...

ZL1 IMO was a success. I can definitely identify with it. It got dicey when Chevy was trying to justify the small block use in it, versus the 427 cubic inch in the z/28; In terms of image both...

Oh I did not know the Blazer was packing 300+ HP. That adds a little twist of spice to them. However I still do not like crossovers.

Yea. Blazer is competent, and it has a good interior. It just does nothing for me. The last non performance chevy to have an impact on me was the '14 Malibu refresh.......sad but true.
