Well, it doesn't have to be a "crossover." Plus, the Traverse isn't classified as a CUV or crossover, even on Chevrolet's own website. Another thing, I rarely see any SUV-CUV conversions, besides the SRX-XT5 deal, which I know.
If the Traverse ain't a crossover, what is it then? A crossover is an on-road vehicle designed to look like an offroader, Traverse matches this description perfectly.
The Traserse is in the "SUVs and crossovers" section of Chevy's website, along with the Equinox, Suburban, Tahoe and Trax. --- Post updated --- TBH it's not really trying to look off-roady anymore. It's just a taller wagon.
Well, I guess it's both a SUV and crossover. Also, to me, the body looks like a extended version of the Tahoe. (Speaking of Trax, it's the most fitting cross-over I've seen, I have seen the car in-person of the 2017 model, and it definitely looks like it wants to be a off-road vehicle.)
That is a good point. Though the reason I like the Trans Am is because it's a Camaro that handles and does burnouts. Also, Buick used to make cars that were fun to drive and it could be a GT car for them.
Yeah, the 80s of Buick is a good example. The only thing, is that the sport car now from them is the GS, which bares a resemblance to the Insignia GSi.
I think the world would be a better place if they started making station wagons instead of crossovers. The European Ford Mondeo wagon looks so much better than any Ford crossovers, for example. --- Post updated --- Another one I thought of is the Lamborghini Jarama. Looks like an Italian pony car. Ferrucio Lamborghini said that it was his favorite Lamborghini car for being the perfect compromise between the supercar Miura and the GT 2+2 Espada. A modern Jarama (Or a similar car with a different name) could potentially be pretty nice, going against some of the modern muscle/pony cars like the Challenger.
I found a render. Looks okay... Anyways, I'd like to see this back. I mean, the last Civic wagon or tourer was from 2014. I'd like to see something like this wagon, or the Tourer from 2014 on the new Civic, could be a very interesting one, and could have plenty of trunk space more than the sedan. --- Post updated --- The "American pickup-cars" are Utes, actually.
Crown Vic, Torino, any big-block trucks and muscle cars and American pickup-cars (El Camino, Ranchero).
This is the closest SRT badged car that looks like the Neon Dodge Dart, this one is the SRT Motorsports Dart with 600hp...
All my nope I pour into that. The Trans Am belongs to Pontiac, not Buick. Interestingly, from what I read on Wikipedia, the Tipo rebadged Neon was apparently assigned to replace the Dart. I don't if it ultimately did or not.
I agree, Buick, again is more of a Luxury brand like Lincoln. I'm not saying Pontiac hasn't done so, but the modern ones (latest from 2010) are more of a family or sporty specific-brand.
Making the Trans Am a Buick would be like if Toyota decided to let Ford produce the Supra. It just doesn't work. If Buick wants their own version, fine, just don't call it a Trans Am. They should come up with their own name for it.
It might as well be called the Buick Indy 500. If it was made by Chevrolet.... I actually don't know what they would name it actually. Anyways, if Plymouth came back, this is what should come back FIRST. The Barracuda of the '60s is a must.
Chevrolet already has theirs. It's called the Camaro. A revived Barracuda would have potential too, though most likely it would end up as a Challenger rebadge. Though I wonder if they could get away with it having a design that's a throwback to both the 60's and 70's Cudas.
I'm sure they can't rebadge a Challenger, the FCA group owns Dodge, not GM. Plus, I do agree that the Cuda should come back, it's the icon of Plymouth after all. I'd even be fine with a wagon from them: One example is the Satellite Wagon. Makes a great Mopar car, and seems pretty nice for a Plymouth, that isn't a sedan.
They did plenty of rebadges before, I don't see why they couldn't do it again. Also, as cool as they are, wagons are pretty much extinct in the US. You'd probably have to go to Europe to pick up a Plymouth wagon if they ever returned. I wonder what a new Roadrunner would be like. Would it be a rebadged Charger? Or something new?
