I see that every day, but if I were to buy a p/u it would be a crewcab long box 4x4 srw.
I’m working on ordering a 20’ car hauler trailer that will double as a big utility trailer. For the few times I could use an open 8’box, it’ll be a better value.
Suspect small SUV / Crossovers have taken the market for small sedans.
I can see a modern Daytona fin...
Bring back the 68-70 taillights in various forms.
No Charger should ever have more than 2 doors.
I’m just across the line from the Lordstown plant - LOTS of wailing and gnashing of teeth going on. Many people, not just the auto workers, are going to be hurt by this.
I have all 6 of these cars parked at my estate.
My last GM car was a 1973 Olds Omega. Inline 6, 3-speed manual, manual steering, manual brakes. Easy maintenance. Traded in 1985 for a Ford T-Bird.
I have and had a Toyota Camry made in Kentucky. No. Union American cars. My Chevy Impala was a POS that GM wouldn’t stand behind because it was pre US citizens bailout. Go figure.
GM - Garbage Machine .
This will be the third trip to the boneyard for the Impala.
It was made from 1958-1985 then discontinued.
Resurfaced from 1994-1996 then discontinued.
Resurfaced the third time in 2000.
Like a drowning man going down for the third time.
Or guys like me who spend about 10 hrs a day in them.
As a kid I learned to drive in my dad’s ‘67 Impala, 396. I remember asking him, “Why didn’t you get the 427”?
“GM is cutting 15,000 jobs in America, but not slowing production in Mexico.”
That’s because the bloated Silverado is mostly made in mexico.
I just recently saw a brand new F-250, standard cab, long-bed 4x4 pickup in a parking lot. I actually circled past it a second time to get a better look. Had to be from one of the dealers that does a lot of fleet sales.
When I was in elementary school, we lived in Arlington, Texas. There was a big GM plant in Grand Prairie and every year, they would park all the new cars, right off the production line, in a huge parking lot on the other side of a chainlink fence. My dad would drive us over to it to see the new models b/c in those days, they changed the body style every year. We all weighed in on the new designs and whether we liked them. It was a lot of fun! Ahhhh, those were the days...
“We’ve always called the knobs falling off, headliner crumbling, AC vents disintegrating “GM-ite-is”. It’s a real thing.”
You forgot to mention the “lean”, the faulty wiring, the “chuggle”, or the fact that after three years you sound like Sanford and Son rolling down the street with all the squeaks and rattles.
.
The most important thing we have to do right now is absolutely ban “self driving cars.”
There is no logical argument in favor of them.
.
Amazing that a 50 year old design is still on top.
(Both Dodge and Ford)

The company I work for is going with the F250/350 now for the small trucks.
And compared to the GM’s that were replaced, the new F250’s are huge
GM / taxpayers lost a ton of money on everyone sold. Yet the battery / gas engine hybrid like the Volt would be the only thing I could consider = NO range anxiety.
