Where once legends like Shelby and Delorean pushed their respective brands forward, we now have manufacturers sharing parts across all their vehicles and refusing to push any envelopes. Who wants a 300C and a Charger to be virtually identical once you sit behind the wheel? While I'm at it, if GM rebrands the TrailBlazer anymore, they are sealing their own fate. Was that a TrailBlazer that just went down the street or a GMC Envoy, Oldsmobile Bravada, Buick Rainier, Isuzu Ascender or Saab 9-7X..... hmmm..... Here's hoping the Camaro and Challenger concepts start a true revolution within the big three. It’s sad to see American cars suffer from a true lack of visual design.
