as for anyone else who thinks gm is on the wrong track by getting rid of the same, boring ass f-bodies that have plagued the domestic performance market for 30 years and replaced them with fresh designs and layouts, you guys are just as unimaginative as your boy spic here. who REALLY gives a fuck about whether something is made in the CONUS anymore? somebody with a screen name that jokingly represents the epitome of ignorance- yeah, his opinion weighs heavily on the lower middle class market gm upper level management is targeting with these cars.
you're retarded

With the american car manufacturers rebadge the same car and call it something different it's hard for me to understang "heritage" as anything other than a nostalgic word used by old geezers. And as we all know, they've been doing it for many decades.

Hopefully the Festiva. They're Kia's with Mazda engines and Ford badges... and I fucking love 'em.
I was refering to all of the above. The BP in the escort is an awesome engine (I know you know plenty so we'll leave that there).

its not American if it isn't made in the U.S?
I guess f-bodies aren't american muscle seeing as how they were made in canada.

a GTO should not be a rebadged Australian family car. End of God damn discussion. Doing this is fine, but then don't use the fucking GTO name.

Was it bad for Avanti to buy 4th gen F-bodies and label them as an Avanti? They are classics and shouldn't be relabeled right?

C'mon Brock. It's a god damn name that hasn't meant shit for 30 years. If GM would have put a V8 in a shitbox car and labeled it a GTO would that have been alright for you? That's what they did when they put a more powerful engine in the Tempest in the '60s. And since when should an American car carry a namesake from something Italian while were on fucked up subjects? I think Ferrari used "GTO" first. "GTO" is italian...
