Has the General become Boring?

[tkruger]

I have noticed Ford is launching or has launched new vehicles that do not look like other items in their line up. The Broncos are clearly different from their other SUV / CUVs. They are launching a truly compact truck with the Maverick. I look at Chevy's web site and all of the CUVs look the same just different sizes. The SUVs are look the same just different lengths. The Camaro has not changed mush visually in years and I cannot count it as a family vehicle. The Malibu is just another mid sized sedan and the Spark needs no explanation. The trucks have become to expensive for a family vehicle. It seems like other than the Corvette they have not produced anything for the regular driver to be excited about.

I used to like Chevrolets. For the longest time all I owned mainly GM vehicles. Then when I needed a van they discontinued their mini van and I bought a Mazda mini van (first foreign brand I ever bought), been a great vehicle. Wife wanted a small fun car, GM has not made one in years, she bought a MINI. I would like a new truck but cannot find anything that is a true improvement over my 2004 Silverado for what I need.

Rant over. Just wondering if when it comes time that rust has eaten my vehicle beyond repair their will be anything I like left to get.

Gm is mailing it in on combustion vehicles.

Even the camaro redevelopment/next generation was officially scrapped.

They're preparing a fleet of prius-like POS powered by batteries that catch fire while parked and betting their money that people will buy 10 trash cars that all look alike +/- a few inches in dimension because nothing else is offered.

In my opinion i think most of the vehicles out now all look a like within the same class, with the exception of mopar

Anything that was or is cool has been discontinued( chevy ss, cobalt SS, trailblazer ss) is just a shell of its former self ( impala, monte carlo) or is ridiculous in pricing for a normal person to get new(any V series) or they wont make it here( short bed single cab Silverado, Holden ute a true S-10) and now there EVs are catching fire so yeah who knows what there thinking

GM tapped out a loong time ago,they ran the f-body outta town like a common pygmy(twice & counting)and think a mid engine vette's gonna do something..

I dunno, I think my friend's 6th Gen ZL1 1LE is pretty sweet. Not sure why people aren't buying more Camaros? The Mustang and Challenger have both looked the same for the last 15 or so years so I don't see why the Camaro gets so much crap for it.

i agree,your friend's ride nice,better than generations past but on average they've/GM's become a bit of snooze.in my opinion.

Not a Mopar guy at all but the SRT8s, Hellcats, etc screamed cool while the Camaro to me seems blah in comparison. Even small details like the Hellcat gauge cluster knock it out of the park. The detail and finish of a Camaro to me seems the same as an average Traverse.

When was the last time you seen a Camaro ripping it up on a ad or even just an ad? The Mustang does get some advertising. The Challanger & Charger are almost always sacrificing tires in ads.
