Incorrect, and I like classic muscle cars. Moreover, I doubt consumers in that age range are the target audience. Those folks would probably rather have a classic muscle car restored too.

Now if you like it, that's fine, but adopting design cues from 40 years ago in a modern car can in no way be considered a step forward. The previous generation Camaro, Firebird and Mustang were all taking on a modern shape, and then suddenly it's as if we've wound up in a parallel universe where none of that ever happened.

Hint: You don't have to build cars anymore that are as big as boats and weigh in at 4K lbs. And yet, they do.

Not my thing.

What's next? Something that looks like a model T?
