If GM was smart they would bring back the chevelle. Its a multi purpose vehicle, could even be its own brand like Bronco. It can be a super crazy HP SS coupe, a 4 door, a wagon, a truck etc. From mild to wild with one marketing budget. I'd get creative and go after subaru with the wagon, make it AWD and then sell an elcamino version. It would be a roaring success #fact
Ford would then copy them with a new Torino or Fairlane that did all the same stuff and Mopar would be stuck with a 4 door charger - they could get them into the ultimate headlock (devils advocate)

I think GM really missed the boat by not using the 04-06 GTO as a Chevelle instead of giving it to Pontiac.
Anything made off the Camaro is not good looking because the Camaro sucks to start with.

Many years ago I went from a 71 Dart as a driver to a 70 Chevelle Malibu 350. Step backwards across the board as far a driving went - steering, brakes, rear visibility, heater, ect. were worse on the Chevelle.
A lot of that may have been body on frame to unibody. Unibody just drives better, not as durable, but they drive way better. My BOF 4runner flops all over the place, whereas a Grand cherokee drives like a honda civic.

Fugly. Looks all out of proportion. Similar to alot of high dollar but hideous looking SEMA builds.
