sure, pick the lemon from the group.
there are a ton of beetles on the road, as there are pt cruisers, prowlers, cooper minis and i imagine there will be as many if not more mustangs.
the t-bird failed. i can't tell you why, because i am not that familiar with their story. but of all of the retro cars on the market, and on the road, you can't tell me that retro will not sell merely because of one failed experiment.
did anyone see the radical retro-styling of the corvette (prototype, only one exists)? love it or hate it, there is no in-between. but it would make for a helluva trim package for the current year vette (as in, in addition to the base styling). and it would most likely boost their sales, as it would add people to the list who want a vette, not detract from their regular customer.
