It is.

So many people think that French cars have no classic cars and have contributed nothing to the automotive world. How wrong they are.

I also like that Citroen CX. Beautiful and classy and typical Citroen.

And people say that about Japanese cars too... (sorry, couldn't resist )

Yeah, I agree. Most definitely a cool car.

There are many idiots out there who consider themselves "car enthusiasts". Look at Autolies.

Nice Chevelle! (Chevelle used to be a trim of the Malibu, if I recall)

Here's an exact quote from Wiki:
The Chevrolet Chevelle pronounced "shevell" is a mid-sized automobile from Chevrolet debuting in 1964. It was produced from 1964 through 1977 and was one of General Motors' most successful cars. Chevelle models ranged from economical family cars to powerful coupes and convertibles. The Malibu was at first the top trim level of the Chevelle line, and it replaced the Chevelle name entirely after 1977. The Chevelle chassis (based on the reengineered GM A platform) provided the platform for the Chevrolet Monte Carlo, a very successful model itself.

I was right and wrong at the same time, I knew one was a model of one, but I had it backward.
