their idea is a modern muscle car - and they fail with all of their own attempts, so they use someone else's car, stick an iconic name on it and call it their own. where is the pride in that?
Yeah, I see your point. But, I guess it's a reflection of the global business atmosphere. Technically, even going back to the 1970's Delco radios had Japanese transistors. What was the last GM car to come off the line with every single part engineered, designed, assembled, and sold completely in the United States? Tough one, isn't it?
