I am not a brand snob so I like all cars. Chevy has the Corvette and the trucks but with the demise of the Camaro & making all of the rest of their cars front wheel drive they have lost a future customer in me. I do not want a FWD car & if GM keeps styling their cars like the Impala, Aztek, Cadillac CTS & Monte Carlo they definitely are not getting me as a future buyer.

I like Corvettes strictly. In fact, I am not a fan of American built cars of any type. I feel the quality of Japanese and German is far superior. I love my vette for its uniqueness, styling, and speed. I think we all agree that they are not the highest quality vehicles. My other two daily drivers are Japanese.

I like the Camaro too...1967 to about 1970 to be exact. I want to get a 67 or a 68 with maybe a 350 or 327; hooked up to an automatic. Good cruising car with gobs of reliable SIMPLE power. I have a 350 shortblock, rebuilt, sitting in the garage, aching to be put into a Camaro chassis. Someday, when funds and time allow. :chevy

Ed Ut, I like chevys, although I am aware of there design shortcomings. I've worked on VWs all my life and I can tell you, design wise, those germans are playing in left field. I've worked on Mercedes, and they are a wee bit better but still, exotic designs are employed, when simpler, stronger design solutions should have been employed. I think the Japanese have the act together when it comes to designing/buliding cars. I have be honest, they know what thay are doing. I've worked on Toys and Datsuns (remeber when thay where called DATSUNS!) and the design was there. Good quality of parts too. Sorry for the rambling, but that morning coffee just kicked in! :chevy

I like Chevy, for their trucks and Corvettes. Truth be told I won't own a one of their small cars, they are just junk.

That being said I wouldn't drive ANY of the small cars, import or domestic. I just don't like pure underpowered crap. If I can't have my Corvette then give me a V-8 Chevy pickup. I can use a pickup truck for things, one of the most practical vehicles for me personally.

I have respect for the Z-28 (SS in particular), but no abiding
love for Chevy in general. (no pun intended). The Corvette is the
only product of their's I would purchase.

I am not a brand snob as long as it is a :flag make. We have two Chevys and two GMC's. I don't care for the rice makes at all. I don't care about all the hype bla bla bla reliability BS bla bla. When I get in my vechicle tomorrow and turn the key I will be proud I have never or will never own rice :flag

I've had many a GM car.
I've had one Japanese car a 70 240 Z really weak car. I liked the looks but it was under powered and it broke.
One was enough for me, never again.
All cars reflect there lack of care, GM, Ford, Honda, Toyota, etc.
Drive any new car well and take care of it and you'll get good service from it.
An American teenager with a lead foot can destroy any Japanese car with ease.
It takes them longer to kill an American car.

As far as Japanese cars being better than American its all hype.
When there are no more American cars those who helped destory the industry will be the first to say they were the best.

In my opinion Mercedes is the bench mark for automotive perfection.
At 55k a car they should drive themselves.

1 Corvette 1 Mercedes no japos.

I like all cars. I think that each manufacturer has at least one model that I would like to own.
I am not strictly into Corvettes.

Personally, I think the rest of Chevy's car offerings suck. Camaro is a great pony car, but is about to go. The Impala is an insult to its name, as is the Monte Carlo. Next to Pontiac, Chevy has the worst stylists in the industry (excepting the Corvette/Camaro studio).

I do like Chevy's trucks though. A Trailblazer under the Christmas tree would be a REAL NICE SURPRISE!

Corvette is the garage queen, dialy drivers are an S-10, Blazer, and Impala. Whenever I trade, or add to the fleet, I look at about everything, go back to the chevies.

After driving a Ford Bronco through high school and then a Jeep Cherokee, id have to say that Chevrolet is the best hands down across the product line. But in the SUV's, the original Jeep Wrangler cannot be beat for off-road driving, WHICH IS WHAT SUVS ARE FOR.

I love a lot of cars. Personal favorites are the Impala SS (90's era), Regal Grand National, and yes, the Viper, not to mention just about any exotic. :cool:
