Sorry to butt in here, but do any foriegn car company's do the profit sharing idea that you see with Microsoft or Westjet. Which has obviously paid off well.

I'm actually going to buy a Chevy Canyon SS very soon just to help out.. I REALLY wanted a S-10 Extended cab (stepside) before they dis-continued them in 2004.. but its too late for that now.

I love Chevy.. I really do. I'd buy a Chev in the drop of a hat.

Those Canyon / Colorado SS's are tight as hell.. I love them.. I can't wait to pick one up in bright yellow and drop it on 22's or bigger (you can't lose with 22's !!!!) [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

they dropped the camaro b/c they have the corvet, with the camero they were cutting into their own market. camaro was like $20,000 cheaper and was essentially same vehicle as the corvett. it was smart for them to drop it.

someone here mentioned that they have like 57 different suv line ups, that is trully a stupid move on their part. i cant even count every single model of suv they got, same with their pick up trucks. chevy built like a rock .......in mexico.

My old S-10 lasted over 750k kilometers.. I'd say thats built like a rock. It still ran as good as my blue Mazda (in my sig) when I sold it.. I just got tired of the damn thing.. it just kept going and going. The guy still drives it today.. (its more rusty then the titanic now) but its still a great truck.. even at 870k. (ONLY an engine rebuid.. same everything) asides from brakes... struts and so on.

but thats pretty DAMN good if you ask me.

Yeah, those old s-10s were bulletproof. My friend got his after 2 older brothers and an older sister were done with it, and it still ran like a clock. There was nothing we could do to that truck.
