They are ugly indeed. I think Chevy is still trying to find its design style, but this currently isn’t working, IMO. The only vehicles I like all of GM’s lineup (in terms of styling) is their pickups and the Tahoe/Escalade lineup.

Bad for business.

“Olds the world over may be lamenting the death of the REAL CAR where you did everything yourself because the REAL CAR MEN like to do everything themselves even the manual spark advance, before dying from drinking too much radium.”

Base for base, the Eldorado Biarritz was $13,050 vs. $13,350 for the Seville, but when I researched it I discovered the Eldorado had more options — and this one had em all (except for CB radio, which would’ve been ballin’).

So the riddle I have is where is the hybrid? They dump all that money into Volt and Bolt R&D and only find a way to put it in the Malibu? There’s no way that the Volt drive train in the Equinox wouldn’t sell like crazy.

Mechanical stuff aside, its biggest problem is that it can easily blend with a blank wall. It’s so... fucking boring.

ok, so that’s 12 vehicles sold

The vehicle I hate is the Chevy Avalanche, and here’s why.

Toyota Tacoma

The Subaru BRZ/Toyota 86. It was the tinder date of cars for me. The ‘good from far, but far from good.’. The ‘you look great in photos but after a few months of getting to know you I now understand why you were still on the lot in the first place’ vehicle.

It’s a bit specific, but the Maserati Ghibli is a Maserati only in badge, full of GM parts, and is a fast way to throw away $50,000 for a used car. Yes twin-turbo V6, but you’ll never use half of that on the Saturday’s nights you park it downtown and tell everyone you own an “exotic.”

Jeep. Wrangler.

I’ve never liked the re-incarnated Camaro. They’ve always been good (and the new performance versions are great) but the styling is too cartoonishly muscular, like the automotive equivalent of this guy:

Here’s my ‘95 that I’ve owned for 16 years and was stock when I first got it. It may not be the fastest thing around anymore, but I still love the sound of that Yamahammer engine!

“the Grand Cherokee is admittedly 8/10ths Range Rover but suffers from quality issues “

I spot the trademark Camry Bumper Dent.

Faraday Future is quite jealous.

Police officer failure(s)

Some very fine people on both sides

There’s also the argument otherwise. Sometimes you can grab a well-appointed model that’s of a lower tier than another, that’s more fun than the bare-bones higher-level car.
