Throughout our drive over two days, we discussed just what could be said about the ride and handling to add some colour to the story. We concluded that Chevrolet had accomplished what it set up to do and that is to offer a full-size sedan that meets the expectations of people in the market. That means being smooth and predictable on the road, spacious, well equipped, easy to operate and main- tain, good on fuel and with a strong resale value at the end of the owner ex- perience. After all, that has been the corner- stone of the Chevrolet brand since GM acquired it in 1918 to compete against Ford's Model T and those core values still hold true today.
