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?"

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.

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

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.
