I personally think that the only company that was successful at going to the "Retro" styling to excite the baby boomer age was Ford (wow thats tough to say...) they are the only ones who actually made a good attempt at making their car look like an older model. No one can deny that. The GTO FWIW looks like a bonneville, the Charger looks like a magnum, but the mustang is the only one that looks like a mustang. From a looks point of view that Charger, and the GTO are UGLY...its a new car what can we say. The mustang actually isnt that bad, yeah the performance may not be at what the GTO is, but if i were to grade a vehicle solely on looks, the mustang takes the trophey HANDS DOWN. Performance would be another story. These cars will NEVER live up to what their ancestors did, but they are atleast a half assed attempt at it. What more can we ask from the car makers these days? No I have never personally ridden in any of these vehicles, therefor I am solely stating my opinion on what these makers were trying to do...go for the retro look.
P.S. If that Chevelle comes out looking the way it does I will be selling mine because that is an insult!!!
