Angry Cars--Current Generation Chevrolet Trucks/SUVs

Car: Current generation Chevrolet Trucks and SUVs

Condition: Downright peeved

Possible Motivation: Bean-counting cost reductions sap all the joy of engineering and any happiness from being the best-selling car-maker in the world. Nobody's buying trucks because gas prices are high, but when gas prices drop the economy disintegrates!

Defining Overblown High-Testosterone Action Movie Quote:
Chevy SUV: "I like you. That's why I'm going to kill you last."
(from Commando, 1985 )

I think they're angry because 95% of them never go off the road. Ever. Or maybe they're angry because the people who drive them are so boring. Or maybe they're angry because they have such crappy handling and braking compared to a car. Or maybe they're angry because the marketing douches who drive them are angry that their lives are boring.

Or maybe they're angry that...

This is great - especially the quote! - but these just don't look that angry to me. Perhaps it's a simmering anger, held back by some pursed lips?

I didn't get home until late, where I had the picture stored that I had in mind. I updated it, if that's okay. I think this one just looks that much more peeved.

To me, it looks like a cat that knows it is being laughed at.

If you want to see something really angry check out that cop car concept. It looks pissed.

Ah - yes, that does look angrier. Indignant is perhaps the right word?

Rob, I like the police car concept - I certainly wouldn't want to see that in my rearview mirror.

Exactly why i hate it. Cops should be approachable and friendly, not frightening and intimidating. The last thing this country needs is more police with a "I'm such a badass" attitude.

They are mad because they didn't get any bailout money.
