Why do they all have to have so much chrome? It's a freaking eye sore... especially the window trim. I hate it.

Because America let "bling" become a popular word?

im sure the chrome will be toned down on the caddy, besides man what would you have done in the 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, lol CHROME everywhere

At least they didn't use as much chrome as they did in the Saturn Sky. I think if you strip the chrome of the sky, it'd be a REALLY nice looking car.

Crash · 03-09-2009, 10:15 PM

Gahhh!! I never saw that pic... You're right. HIDEOUS!

What the hell. GM strikes again. They always have cool designs and then **BOOM** start from scratch so they can re-badge a car they've already got in production. Ghey!!!

Can you say "Hybrid Malibu?"

^^^ Thats incorrect, Camaro, CTS, lacrosse, enclave etc etc all went from concept to production in great interpretation of the concept.

For the most part though, those are not reinventions. Even the camaro is based on the 69. The rest of them are the same old recycled stuff.

OK. Fine. There were a couple cars that they didn't do that to... Out of a line up of HOW MANY CARS?! Seriously, just because a few make it past the chopping block doesn't mean that they're not known for this garbage.

it looks fitting on older cars with sharp angles, but it just doesn't feel appropriate anymore.

Frost. They hate money. That's why they're bleeding billions.

I don't doubt that at all. I STILL can't imagine a reliable GM.
