If everything I've heard over the years was true it's one of the best decisions they made. If only they could have voided that stupid contract sooner or some other way... we might have had 5th gens much earlier than 2010.

This is what I am talking about..in case anyone wants an 'interesting' spin on the past.

Story of my life... Amazing how soon after the 2006 announce of the 5th gen that EVERY SINGLE 4th gen disappeared from the pre-owned Chevy dealer down the street from me. Prior to the unveil, there was always at least one on the lot for me to drool on...

That's why my 99 will be sitting right next to the '10 in the driveway!

What was the federal law that passed that made them stop production on the 4th gen cars?

I think different side-impact rules for 2003.

OMG this is sad.

Granted my cars rode hard and put away wet, It still does exactly what it was designed to do: fun.
