Llet’s not forget that a of these bigger trucks will be equipped with lower gears to assist in towing and pulling, so we really don’t need huge amounts of HP and Torqu, unless you want the damned engine to pop out of the hood as soon as you press the accelerator to the floor. Believe me back in the day, even with 200 h…

So were thry the first ones to rock the monochromatic scheme?

It was a lot of the need for steel and other metals, and in turn also kept the home front morale and interest in the war high.

Neutral: I definitely care where my vehicles are manufactured, or at least their final assembly. There is a huge difference in the final product when cars are assembled in the U.S., Japan and Germany, heck even Britain. The other locations don’t seem to care about how the fit and finish is well, fit and finished. They…

The “cough”, Blazer is way too expensive to begin with. Cars that are produced in low wage countries should reflect that.

Do ome research and you’ll find out how the engine and transmission are situated in the car, and that you would need to route the cables and linkage around to the rear of the engine. So a small amount of upset customers won't mean anything to Chevrolet. They'll tell them to actually drive the car before complaining.

Not necessarily, especially since less are sold.

Or physics and engineering.

You'd have to pay a lot more than that.  How do you expect the linkage and cables to reach around to the back of the engine?

Wy do you need ancient technology in a vehicle with advanced technology? That’s like putting Windows 2000 in a computer built today. Doesn’t make sense to anyone that knows what is going on.

490 hp in a car that light and all of the weight over the rear axle will surprise the heck out of you. Look at some of the stats on other sports cars with this sort of set up and you'll be surprised.  Power to weight ratio is key here.

You are one of the lucky ones. Most have a lot of issues, mainly transmission related.

Correct.  Their low reliability killed them, along with lower performance numbers compared to other cars of the time costing a few dollars less.

They didn’t want to sell it because of the major concerns about countless problems with the vehicle.

I hate to rain on your parade,  but the Prelude was pure junk.  Yes, that one inky has 400 miles on it, but find them used, in the world and you'll find transmission problems out the wazoo among other problems that seemed to plague that model. There were many other sports cars of that era that were heads and shoulders…

While I haven’t read the entire story on this particular dealership, except this little article which is full of holes. I can say that i have worked at several dealerships across this country. I have seen a few go under for similar issues, like ordering too much inventory or used from the auctions. This tends to be…

Only shallow people think like that. I myself have high self esteem,  and can and have driven all sorts of cars in various levels of "shiny new or rusty old" and have made all sorts of friends driving both. 

Tried to trade it in lately? 

When there is a dealership, there is always cocaine and prostitutes involved.

Even worse,  idiot's with papers stuck under their front wiper blades as they drive down the street.
