Yeah, well, this is the problem with Chevy. That thing is fugly. They need to pull out the stops and step it up. They haven't made a decent looking vehicle in years imo.

VX : CLOSEST THING TO A CONCEPT CAR!

I'm surprised that noone mentioned the Opel GT from the early seventies!
It looked like a mini Corvette, complete with hideaway headlamps you actvated by pulling what looked like a small handbreak next to the gear lever.
I still see a few sitting around waiting to be restored?

Yeah, I saw a few on eBayMotors.com, they look pretty sweet actually!

I almost did...
Years ago, when my step-sister first started driving (and I was still about two years away from the honor myself) - my father asked her if ther were any cars that she was interested in buying...
She enthusiastically replied "I'd like to get either a Saab Sonett III or an Opel GT" -- to which my father fired-back, without missing a beat "OK, but what do you plan to DRIVE?"
She didn't get it... So my father explained that neither of her choices were exactly known for thier reilability, and that if she didn't have any other ideas, maybe she'd better sign-up for Auto Shop - or start dating a mechanic!
I think he made his point - sort of...
A few weeks later, she ended-up getting an early`80s 1-Door Hatchback Dodge Omni...
(Well, actually it was a 4-door - but hers only opened on the front passenger-side
