Bam spotted this billboard in Tullahoma, TN:
This could be correct if they have just one Chevy and just one Malibu:"Chevy is for less... 2008 Malibu is starting at..."However I doubt that is what they were going for.
what if I want 2 doors?
Or "Chevy's (their brand's items)", but the second cannot be argued.
To Mathman, it would have to be "Chevy's Malibu's".
Shouldn't it be "Chevies"?
Chevy is a formal noun, but it's also a nickname for Chevrolet. So really Chevys or Chevies could work.
