!!!TED!!! posted this pic on C&G, I thought it was an interesting comparison.

I always have, and still am, intrigued by a cheap GMT355 based, BOF line of cars...

How many of you would buy that Bel Air for the roughly low $20's GM quoted for a production version? Probably well under $20K for a hardtop.

 

Make it GMT360 based with the TB/SS AWD drivetrain (maybe add DOD & 2 more gears) and I'd consider it.

Notice the theme yet I'm absolutely in love with big power AWD and will seriously consider anything that offers it in a drop top configuration even ahead of the 5th gen.

 

Not exactly what I am looking for, but I still think it is a very cool concept and would sell atleast better than the SSR did.

 

For awhile there, it seems that there was a proposal to make both the BelAir and Nomad off of that platform.

That would have been cool, but I'm not sure how that all would fit in Chevy's product portfolio.

 

Add a little bit more aggressive front end and I'd be all over it.

Wonder what it would do if it was a Pontiac with a Solstice-Like front end???

 

I wonder if a Bel Air hardtop, would have any appeal whatsoever to someone who might consider a Scion tC, if they were roughly the same cost?

 

I have thought from the day I saw that concept (and I did see it in person...) that it was the absolute most boring and bland styled concept car I have ever seen in my life.

 

agreed

 

I think the Velite is a lot sexier btw.

 

Likely not because it is a) larger b) RWD c) American.

I would never have thought of getting the bland as it gets tC but I would consider a Bel Air in a heart beat.

 

Reminds me of the Thunderbird.

 

Agreed

 

Velite would need some serious work done in the area below the tail lights. It looks like an empty billboard.

 

The Bel Air needs a design with much more personality. The name carries feelings much like that of Mustang with the middle aged crowd. If it had the styling wow of the SSR or Camaro it would sell like mad. As a matter of fact, drop the Malibu and Malibu MAXX and replace it with the Bel Air and Nomad. Much better name association with those two in this age of retro.

 

NO way, I saw it in Dallas a while back, every line on that car is near perfect.....

Buick just needs to build it....(Why dont they btw?)
