Sure just as long as they don't model it after the Laguna S3.... Buddy of mine in High School had a white 74 with black stripes. Although the swivel buckets in the front were pretty cool.

Well in a sense they did remake the Chevelle, it`s just called a Malibu now. As far a badging a car and calling it a Chevelle I hope that doesn`t happen. A lot of us want to remember the original Chevelle`s for what they were.

Pontiac tried twice to bring back the GTO name and look how well both of those tries turned out.

Maybe we'll see a Charger equivalent in the Chevy line-up. Only thing that would make since would be the revival of the Pontiac G8 as a Chevrolet Chevelle. At least it would be rear wheel drive.

Mine too

I loved the chevelle as well, it was my first car. I had a 71 and loved every minute of it, I did miss that car until I got the Camaro, but I would not mind if they made it again.

First car I bought on my own at the age of 18 was a 69 Chevelle. That was 1981 and she had 60,000 miles on her and was driven by a Preachers wife. The night I picked her up and drove home there was 3 inches of snow on the ground and I was scared that I would get hit before getting home.

70' looks the best from the front but it seems like the designers were napping when it came to the rear bumper. They fixed it in 71-72 but they ruined the front light area!!!

I could see that some might feel that way, but I personally prefer the '70's tail lights. In fact, my 2nd favorite is the '66 and it's rectangular tail lights...
