    Blatant e30 rip off?

    I saw this on Jalopnik today.

    Starbucks has a shitload of sizes for your caffeinated consumption, including Short, Tall and Venti. Slotted between those last two is Grande, and that could be the size of the engine in today's Nice Price or Crack Pipe Cavalier. But is its price sufficiently demitasse?


    Is it just me or is the 87 chevy cavalier a rip off of the styling of a e30? Look at the window shape, the reflector and turn signal position, even the rear spoiler/front air dam looks almost identical.

    for 11K, thats a crack pipe
    Had a smooth purchase transaction with me?

    Grand National rip off.

    I'd drive it....if it wasn't FWD. Looks good IMO.

                Considering that the E30 and Cavalier came out the same year (1982), I doubt it. Everything was boxy like that in the 80s.

                  Cavalier...Cavalier...I rented one of those back in the '80s, drove for three hours and could not get out of the car. The seats were the worst of all cars.

                    agreed on the seats. I had chronic back pains when I used to own it.
