The new car smell, of a square body.

[LTZ C20]

My boss owns a black 2015 Chevy 3500HD High Country single rear wheel 4x4.  I believe it cost him $82,000 CAD.  Is a nice looking truck but $82,000 is a little ridiculous.

The smell wasn't even that nice lol.

Yea I built one time on chevy ' s website, with all the options I wanted, it was somewhere around there, I know it was over 80. I love everything about them tho, even the smell lol. Heck, last night built a brand new truck to like mine as if it was my truck only brand new, same color, 2wd, interior colors, it was like 50 grand.

I can recall the new car smell from my parents '86 GMC 1500 Suburban and an '87 GMC R-1500...

The Suburban was always garaged and kept the new smell for a long time and was in pristine condition.  That's possibly why it was stolen out of a parking lot around 2001 with around 80K on the odometer.

Stolen, that stinks.

Stewart G, currently you can still buy a brand new Buick Lasabre, they are actually very nice cars and you can also still buy a brand new Caprice, the only catch to that is that you have to be a law enforcement agency, the Caprice is strictly a police vehicle now. Btw, they are ALOT of fun to drive, speaking from experience.

Philobeddoe, you think that add you posted is expensive? Go on Chevrolet ' s website and build a 3500 HD crew cab long bed, single rear wheel, 4x4, Duramax/Allison, High Country Silverado LTZ. If I remember correctly, those pass 70,000. That's the truck I'de buy if I could. One day I will be able to aford it and I will buy one.

The funny thing is, sales of the smaller front-drive big cars are up.  So i guess people don't like them real big?

i have seen a few Caprice police cars around here.  i think the only reason GM won't allow chevy to sell it is because Cadillac does not have a large RWD sedan at the moment.

[LTZ C20]

GM doesn't let Chevy sell them because they are a law enforcement agency only vehicle. That is GM's intended market. Also. Cadillac has the CTS-V, 6.2L, supercharged (older models weren't supercharged but I'm pretty sure the newest model is), 6 speed, rwd. It's a pretty good sized car.

No I cant - I was 13 when my Dad bought this Truck 

[jumbowolfe]

I do remember that smell, my Step Dad through the 70s and 80s got new work trucks every two years, so often he would have a new box Chevy brand new.  Most of the time, that smell left quickly as he did not know how to take care of a car.  They were work trucks though.

Chevy trucks did/do indeed have a unique new car smell compared to others.

Bought a bran spankin new 74 Chevy C-10 LB with 350 and 3 on the tree..........$3400.00

edit.....unfortunately at about 400 miles it developed a severe knock. Took it back to the dealer and a couple days later the service guy said "congratulations you got a brand new short block courtesy of GM. The 2nd and 4th main bearings were non existent, as in never put in, when they tore it apart  Surprised it made it 400. He was too.
