During the first nine months of the year, General Motors retained command of the throne and crown of the US automotive market with a big helping hand from its mainstream Chevrolet brand.
GM sold around 1.95 million vehicles during the first three quarters, while Toyota was behind it by around 220k units with sales of 1.73 million automobiles. The Ford Motor Company also soared to 1.548 million, and Stellantis tanked hard (by 17%) to less than one million deliveries. Alas, while FoMoCo subtly rose its tally by 2.7% and Toyota registered a good 6.2% advance, GM fell one percentage point.
Even worse, while Buick jumped almost 10%, Cadillac soared by 0.3%, and GMC was slightly up by 1.5%, Chevrolet – which delivered no less than 1.265 million units during the January through September period – fell by three percent. Things might get even worse, frankly, as Chevy ended production of the sixth generation Camaro late last year but still sold a few thousand of them (less than 6k) and then also ceased manufacturing of the affordable Malibu mid-size sedan during the third quarter.
That one is going to make a dent because during the first three quarters, even with the end looming on the horizon, it still sold 93k units. No worries, though, as the parallel universes of vehicular CGI have a solution, as always, thanks to a member of the imaginative guild of digital car content creators. More precisely, Jim, a virtual artist known as jlord8 on social media, loves messing around with all things CGI from the automotive realm, and now he dreams of a 'newish' Chevy Biscayne.
The latter was a full-size car series manufactured by GM's Chevrolet from 1958 to 1975 across five generations in two-door and four-door sedan form, as well as a four-door station wagon. Using the nameplate coined for a concept presented at the 1955 General Motors Motorama, the Biscayne was the affordable model in the Chevy full-size lineup, sitting directly below the more popular Chevrolet Bel Air and far cheaper than the flagship Impala and Caprice models.
This time around, the pixel master brings back the Chevrolet Biscayne in a quirky and uncanny way – instead of imagining some sort of fancy and modern revival, the CGI expert simply took the body of the tenth-generation Impala (2014-2020) and morphed it for five-door station wagon duties. It's as simple as that – and it seems the idea works wonders with his fans.
They immediately embraced it, and someone – although it's devised as a luxurious estate with loads of chrome and trunk space plus silver wheels – even proposed making it a high-performance Touring car with a supercharged LS6 V8 under the hood and a special handling package to make it a worthy adversary of the upcoming BMW M5 Touring. Cool or not?
