I'm a big fan of the two tone. Had I have two tone in my saturn and my rental Malibu had a black/adobe two tone that we just loved. I'm actually a big fan of the cruze/volt. I would love to get a volt when I graduate but its just not economically feasible. Maybe a Cruze. I love the dark blue cloth two-tone with the black. Definitely fits the style of car. Youthful and fun. Some people don't like it or feel its cheap, but its a b-market car. It's not supposed to have a high end interior. And most of the people who shop for this market car will like it.

How can people call the quality of ford better then Chevy? Thats what I want to know. The mustangs were cheaper then the f-bodies for a reason.. I am not saying GM is great quality but compared to ford they are.

I like the new chevy car. It reminds me of a smaller Malibu. The mustang is just ugly as hell. I hate the new design.

i don't know if the cruze and the fiesta are direct competitors, but that is the interior of the fiesta. I like them both, but prefer the cruze. I'm sure the fiesta will have better driving dynamics though.

NastyEllEssWon · 12-02-2009, 01:53 AM

new fords interiors remind me of VW interiors...which is NOT a bad thing. chevys still lacking in their overall package.

sweetbmxrider · 12-02-2009, 07:29 AM

hey your comment earlier about how ford puts out another quality product, could you expand on that? i mean the mustang just got a new motor, meaning the old one was inferior in my eyes....

Good point. I mean if the car was such top quality then why do they change it every 4 years? I mean the Foxbody started in 79 I believe and it stayed the same till 87 which it did a little face lift that lasted till 93. They completely changed the car in 94 which lasted till 98 then they changed it again in 99-04. 05-09 they completly changed it and now in 2010 they changed it again. In ways its a good thing because its a new car every 4 years or so but in other ways there must be reasons for the changes ( quality,sales,competition).

What Ford interior reminds you of anything from VW? Not saying that Ford's is bad, but they are two very different worlds in design.

Ill agree that Chevy's are lacking in features.

NastyEllEssWon · 12-02-2009, 12:26 PM

christ guys do you read???

that fiesta pic...you know the one thats posted like 3 above mine??? yeah that pic...that pic reminds me of a vw interior.

as for fords products not being quality because they revamp them every few years isnt an indicator of poor build...its an indicator of freshness. keeping things new and exciting.

the new chevy cars just seem lacking in everything....exterior design is horrible...the interiors are bland and the whole cars just seem to be lacking any type of character at all. no personality to them. slap a random name rehashed from chevys past on a plastic car and there you have it....garbage.

even the caprice cop car looks like crap compared to what they could have done...aka lumina ss front.

hell that fiesta's interior looks 10 times better than anything chevy has put out....even in the corvette. and thats an entry level car

BigAls87Z28 · 12-02-2009, 12:32 PM

I wouldnt go that far Mr.Nasty.

Chevy's and GM's in general design is very solid now compared to Ford or Chrysler.
I dont think they look boring at all, or any more boring then what Ford has.
The Caprice is a specilized fleet car, not a retail car, so I could care on its grill design. If they brought it here to America. And the ME Lumina front end looks like cheap ****. Just a generic nose with a gold bow tie? Yeah, original. Chevy has a look now, and its carried in all new Chevy cars, sans Corvette and Camaro.
The Lumina front end is generic looking, and it wouldnt fit on the Caprice anyway as the Caprice is longer and wider then the Commodore, the car the Lumina is based off of.

And interior is bland in Chevy's? Ill give you Camaro and Impala. But Focus and Fusion's interior is just as boring.

sweetbmxrider · 12-02-2009, 01:56 PM

nasty stop tryin to pick a fight. "freshness" is the lamest excuse ever. the cars suck but they make them suck a little less every few years. maybe one day they will be decent. till then shatup!

NastyEllEssWon · 12-02-2009, 02:04 PM

im not picking a fight im just saying my views mr.trike. it just seems like every chevy car out there has a competitor that completely blows it away.

I am sorry but I have owned a 98 Mustang GT and a 85 Mustang and they both sucked. They were cheap POS's that were a mistake to ever own. It sucks owning a car that changes every 4 years. I dont care about freshness and whatever else you want to call it. I wasnt planning on buying a Mustang every 4 years I was stuck with the one I had. I didnt feel good about having a Mustang because there was and still is nothing special about owning a mustang. Who really cared back in 2002 that I had a 225 hp V8 Mustang that was 4 years old? Thats why it was my daily driver and My V6 firebird was my car show and track car. I use to count how many mustangs I would see driving in to work in my 98 stang. Alway above 10 or more in a 8 mile drive. Never once did one of them nod or wave at me. Whenever I drive my T/A or Firehawk I get waves from GTO, F-body, Vette and even some Mustang owners who you could tell whish they had a F-body.

The mustang will keep selling because they are cheap cars with some power but the bottom line they are cheap. They are a Me 2 car. If thats your idea of exciting and fresh then thats all you.

So I guess the ZR1 name that was rehashed from chevy's past isnt exciting, a garbage car and is lackingineverything like you stated above.

I hate to tell you this but that is the way it is. Every car has a competitor that blows it away. There is always a faster, nicer, better mpg car out there then the one you are looking at. Thats just the way it is.

NastyEllEssWon · 12-02-2009, 04:23 PM

i wasnt speaking about anything of ford from early years. i was speaking upon recent years.
