This is one of my favorite body styles of all time. The gentle curve from head to tail lights, the elegant chunkiness, and the rugged visual simplicity conspire to generate a truly beautiful vehicle to my eye.
This specific specimen, this 4.3 liter V8 equipped convertible with automatic transmission and every available option should therefore have captured my heart. It didn't.
The gas pedal was heavy and stubborn.
The brakes were vague and confidence sapping.
The seats were hard and flat.
I can see the argument for this vehicle from a visual perspective, but as far as things that I want to live with on a daily commute, I believe I'd rather have cholera.
