Both are creditable pieces of design in their own way, but why does Ford (and the American car buying public + GM + Chrylser) think that bringing back 'retro' anything is so "cool"? It forces design wrong, it handcuffs engineering improvement. It boggles my mind, always has. I thought western culture was a forward looking society?...guess you can throw that concept out the window ... gauges you can't read, axles that hop....but oh yea...I forgot...they're all going out of business anyway...too bad NOT.

Long live the quest for the perfect affordable (modern) sports car! We're getting close
