yeah, except he's not 16. strike two.
bob lutz hates retro so much his first idea was to introduce a sportster. i can't debate this issue - i have my own views which may or may not agree with what GM has or hasn't said, and it's more of what they haven't said. i can tell you that more than one person at GM looked at those photos above.
the GTO wasn't retro because someone had the bright idea to import an aussie car. don't get fooled - retro is in despite whatever comments were made about whatever models of other people's cars. or were the magnum and 300C not brand new cars with retro styling?
about the only reason i can think of for not liking retro is because you are surrounded by "fill in the blank" cars. if that's the only thing you've ever been influenced by, then it's no surprise if you don't like anything else. *ahem*Justin's fixation on thirdgens*ahem*
see, if they do it right, like the PROWLER, then there is no reason to claim retro is dead because there is actually demand for it. i'm not saying there is widespread demand for Kris Horton's digital rendering of what he thinks the new camaro should look like. i mean, one of the highest curculating magazines asked for an email drive and they got 500 responses.
enthusiasts are in the minority. we always have been, we always will be. a car like the mustang doesn't really appeal to us because it comes in so many flavors - which is also why it did so well; it appealed to more people.
don't take my comments about your source personally. they weren't meant that way. i tend to have a dry sense of humor, which, not surprisingly, doesn't appeal to too many people.
