Thumbs up Re: GMI Feature: Revitalization in Action; The Dream Buick Lineup

These all have one distinctive thing in common, they all have that American look that is missing in todays cars. In the 1970's American automakers started trying to design in quality by making their cars look like foreign cars. Ford tried to make a cheap look-a-likes of mercedes with the granada and montclair. Remember the J cars General Motors built in the late seventies? They did well for a couple of years and then they died, they were missing one thing, quality. If the General had just added that one missing ingredient, "quality", they would have cleaned up on the Japanese.

If The General will revive the American school of design, bring back the 'Body by Fisher' moniker, give the American public, beautiful "quality" American cars, they will win the game. Everthing that comes from Japan looks alike, cookie cutter designed. American cars need to look American, let's beat them at our game not theirs. I think the Camarro as a halo car says one thing, American's want quality American cars with "GOOD OLD AMERICAN BEAUTY". No more pregnant roller skates, or shoeboxes on wheels with headlights.

Let's go General, there are millions of Americans like myself, waiting for you to get off the mat and slam Toyota against the wall.
