I'm kinda brand loyal to Toyota... 4 in the last 27 years. It may not seem like many, but they don't die.

The Typoon, Syclone... yeah. How about a real Silverado SS? Dump the Chevette or Vega name, it will bring back bad memories, like Ford bringing back the Pinto.

Give it a different nameplate or give it some heritage.

I’m willing to bet the new “blazer” has shit sales. Mazda and Nissan will outsell them. He’ll! Chevys late to the party to produce a vehicle like theirs! We’ll see what the Ford Bronco looks like as it’s based off the Troller. If it pays homage to the old like anticipated? Chevy better have an answer or I’m jumping ship. I want a no bells and whistles K5 with 6.2L manual tranny and no AFM crap paying homage to yesteryear. But I’m just dreaming lol

My grandfather drove Chevrolets and my father drove them so it was only natural that I followed. I briefly got into VW and Audi and I also had a nice BMW 3, fun car. I've also always driven Chevy trucks of various years that I picked up used. My current DD is a Cobalt that refuses to die, currently at 191,000 miles. I use it for my long work commute and it saves me a lot of gas money vs the Camaro and our Tahoe. I'll probably drive it one more year before looking at a new truck, I'll probably end up with a big gas hog, but I'm tired of tailgaters.

At 191,000 the only parts that failed so far, the backup light switch and the heater control knob which didn't fail, it just got scratchy from being turned on and off thousands of times. Still has original clutch and brakes, doesn't burn a drop of oil.

Is it the ohv 2.2L or the Ecotec?

It's the Ecotec 2.2 liter, the thing still moves out like it was new. It's a 2005 Cobalt base model, I added the LT wheels and trim after I bought it.

I had a '93 Typhoon and its "successor", a '06 Trailblazer SS

The rwd LS3 SS was your modern Impala SS, and it's sales flopped.

I don't see them reinventing either in the future.

Same here. I have had 4 in the last 36 years. Just got rid of my 2001 4Runner 4x4 after 17.5 years. I have been driving Toyota 4x4’s as my daily drivers since 1982. Just bought a new TRD Pro 4Runner to replace my ‘01. They are awesome.

CR-V is a very good car. I got my wife a new Ford Edge a couple of years ago. It’s been very good so far. Just like you, the regular SUV’s aren’t our style. We have an image to maintain. Lol
