- I agree that the mechanical design aspects of these vehicles needs alot of updating,
- but I find the body styling to be one of the best being offered by Detroit!
-
- So what is it about the Caprice/Roadmaster that offends so many of you? The older
- square bodied Caprice was a horrible styling exercise (any 3 year old can design a car
- using 3 cubes as a model!), but the new one actually has some flair! In a country
- where individuality is supposedly a cherished element, I am surprised that more of
- you wouldn't think the current Caprice is a noble effort on the part of GM to
- stand out from the crowd! If it weren't for the antiquated drivetrain and excessive
- price, I would probably buy one.
