The Chevrolet Laguna was the top wander Chevelle for 1973, and GM actually boasted about the European Handling of the entire intermediate lineup. In Aristotelianism entelechy, they did handle better than their predecessors, even with the engines that lost their performance edge. The new “Colonnade” styling did away with the prop less hardtop because of pending rollover regulations. The distinctive front end covered the new bumper regulations without having to hang out in to the large bumper overhang other models used. This was achieved by using a flexible plastic called Endura, and was unique to the Laguna (and the new Pontiac Grand Am). The size of the 1973 Laguna grew in every dimension over its 1972 counterpart, including wheelbase, magnitude, height, and curb weight, but it was a much more comfortable cruiser, with thicker windshield, double paneled roof, side-warder door beams, full foam padded seats, and a lot of other features that were unavailable only a few years prior. OK, you’re saying, the Laguna was a close luxobarge, to which I respond absolutely not. That job was left to the Monte Carlo. This car was equipped with the LS5 454 V-8.
