Is it just me. or did Pontiacs and Saturns used to be good-looking?

I don't think that Chevys have been nice since I have been alive.

 

Last good looking Chevy (other than Corvette): 1957 Bell Air...... problem is, I think that GM still has the same designers working for them!

 

The Chevy Nova was an instant classic design, with its sweeping lines and beautiful curves. Don't forget that.

Pontiacs and Saturns never looked good...Pontiacs tried to be something other than what they were (sporty and different) and Saturns weren't Honda bland, they were ugly.

 

i dont mind them, but when you look at a cavalier and then other cars which cost just a little more, the cavalier is really a piece of SHlT

 

I HOPE you're talking about the 1967-74 Nova's, and not the 1985-91's that were rebadged Corollas! But, even at that, those Nova's weren't that much to look at, IMO. The first car I can remember my parents driving was a white '74 with black vinyl interrior. It was o.k., nothing special. In 1975 they turned into bonafide family sedans, so I don't think there was anything so great about it. It wasn't FUGLY, but nowhere near a red 1957 Bell Air convertable with red/white interior and fuel injected 283. Worth somewhere around $60,000 today in mint condition. One thing I will give credit to the big three, NO ONE could beat them in the 1950's and early 1960's. They did make some fantastic vehicles in the day.

 

:gives: I was being sarcastic.

 

I kind of thought so, but I wasn't sure. :doh:

 

BTW, noone could beat them because they had a monopoly on the market. How many of our cities were flattened?

 

is it just me, or does the front end of that thing look very similar to the front of a new Tiburon

 

Everywhere usally gets better cars than here. Look at the ford escort cosworth. That was only in europe and it was awd turbo!! Ford doens't even send its best cars here :madfawk: Subaru seems to be changing this though. Along with help from all the people hopping up hondas and various other imports. Competiton in sport compacts is red hot right now.
