I understand the Chevy Monza situation, my point is: How did
Chevrolet and
the dealerships represent the engine size to the consumer? Perhaps my
351ci
substitition analogy in a modern Mustang is far fetched, but how
would you
feel if you were told you were getting one engine and you got another
instead, wouldn't there be a huge liability issue present?- Hank
Hank,
GM had gotten into this in the early seventies. I remember a
markieting flack
saying no one really cared about the engines but the interiors and body
styles
were the difference. About 2 years later GM was hit by lawsuits from
irate
Olds buyers who found that instead of a Rocket V-8 they had 307 and 350
Chevies.
The advertising said they were getting Rocket v-8's. My guess is the
Monza
buyer was never told the size of the engine just that it was a v-8.
