Don't go off telling others that they no NOTHING and bisicaly are just stupid. Especially a new member. If you dont like my mis spelling or grammer, feel free to NOT read my post.
If spelling is so importaint, put in a spell check. You have 50 thousand smilies. Put in a spell check and have one less thing to whine about. Then maybe you can desifer the writings with out all the disturbance.
Firefox and internet explorer both have spell checkers available and check text fields on nearly any website. I would guess most other browsers have one too too, either built in or as an add-on.

This I have tried. My computer is set up with so many protection devices, I can't do a lot of simple things. If I drop the fire wall to put in the spell check, I would have to drop it each time and every time I use it. That's not going to happen on my part. Thank you for your suggestion though. I get very little play time on my P.C. as it is. I refuse to use it pleasing others that will just find other things to ridicule me about. This ( I thought) was to be a fun thing. A fun and enjoyable experience with other fans of the automobile. An e instead of and a, or two letters switched should not cause such a ruckus. Honestly this is the only sight I have this problem with. Maybe I'm better off just going to my other sights and party there. I have a bad habit of wanting to meet new people of the same interest and have fun with it.

Thanks again for your suggestion. It was very thoughtful and kind of you.

It's not too insane a thought. When the Malibu is due for it's next update, it would be possible to bring back the Chevelle name. I don't think it would be as retro as the Camaro. The only way it would truely make any sence would be for it to fill in the void left by the G8. Trim would need to be base models in both 4 and 2 door with V6s and maybe a later SS version. Chevy has made SS versions of most of the vehicles it's developed, why couldn't it do this?

A slightly larger Chevelle would be more direct competition for the Charger and Challenger. I've always thought comparing the Challenger to the Camaro was unfair to the Challenger.

As for what GM is considering, it's bringing over either the Holden Ute or Chinese Park Avenue.
Fenwick, why is there zero interest in the Holden WAGON? Seems to me, as a "long-roof" fan, the Commodore Wagon would send Volvo packing, along with the other European Brands with similar versions...

The Ute, although sensible from a potential CAFE standpoint vs. Colorado/Silverado as a very light duty "truck", seems to me to have a very limited potential for the same development dollar$. The version Wangers did, as a "Chev" a few years back, drew little public acclaim...

The Chinese Park Ave? Bring it on!

Nobody seems to have a good answer for why wagons aren't popular. Enthusiasts seem to like the idea more, but the general public seems to hate the idea. And yet they buy car based crossovers, some of which are practically wagons now anyway. The mysteries of the auto market.

Enthusiasts love wagons. Regular consumers...not so much.

I do have a feeling that wagons will start to increase in popularity though.

Cuz no matter how much horse-power it has, it's still a freaking station wagon.

Spelling

I have gone back and copied all my postings and have corrected the spelling. I hope all are now capable of reading my post. As a new member, some members have been nice, most have treated me roughly. I hope with the spelling corrections we can move forward. I am here as a hobby. Not a life dependency. It's so much more fun walking away from a web sight with a smile than being upset because some prefer to use venom instead of pleasantries.

Yup, that photo's already been posted. I still love the design though, even if it may not hit production anytime soon :(

The back does look cool but the GTO's body lines are to round in order retro fit any chevelle looks. IMO
