...Traffic Jam. All these cars will descend on a market in which there is such a traffic jam of nameplates and models that many a customer is already confused enough. The customer now has 17 standard-sized cars to pick from, most of them with such a welter of models, motors, options and accessories that it is possible to buy a Chevrolet in more than 100,000 different combinations.
