I really like this car...the nostalgic styling is fantastic.
Contrast this with what Pontiac did with the '04 GTO. (ie, screwed it up)
This car rocks!

oooh! just checked out the interior; its a modernized version of the past models as well! Love the gauges.

Nice looking car, but I bet most of them will be held back in the looks department with ugly stock 16" wheels.

didn't we just have a thread on this car not too long ago? oh well, if I had the money it wouldn't be the first car on my list, but I'm sure it's a pretty fun car.

That's the first time I've seen the inside, and it looks dope. The middle console is pretty bleh though. :/

That's pretty hot....except for the grill mounted lights. Doesn't look right.


On second glance, I like them. The front of the car is big enough to accomodate them. Well done.

I like the grill mounted headlamps too, a real throwback to the old fastbacks.

Now the GT-R, <i>that's</i> a bad ride. But I'll keep my '96 Cobra for now.

The front looks too turned-down around the corners. That's the only problem I have with it. I don't see what's wrong with the stock 16" wheels, nothing wrong with flashing some rubber.

I hope so. I hate the oversized pimp wheels showing up on new cars these days.

The GTs are going to come with 17s stock and 18s as an option later on.
The main problem is the skinny tires on the back.

I remember reading that the color of the gauge lights can be adjusted to over a 100 different hues (I think it's an option, not std.) so each owner can have a "custom" look to the interior.

Its alright looking. Whats with all companies doing the retro thing now? Rather than making cars look more futuristic, they are looking more dull.

Well I watched a show on this car and the guy that runs Ford wanted something that looked like the original Mustage and well I think they got as close as they could be! Now if your talking about the Chevy SSR and the Plymouth Prowler I don't know what those guys where thinking!

If you're asking WHY.. because it SELLS.

Personally, I hate Ford, but this design is a real winner.

Yeah, I guess that is what doesn't make sense. Why are people so infatuated with the retro style? You would think we would be going into the future design wise rather than taking a few big steps backwards. .

what constitutes a future design?

IMO the car designs here in the US are totally bland because well the US market deems it so. Why do we get a boring looking Accord when the rest of the world get the real Accord but here it's rebadged as a TSX?

Americans like cars that look like sedans or saloons. You won't see anything that looks like a Renault Megane as they aren't "car shaped."

The futuristic cars are either outlandish and age style wise even earlier or they are just the same old boring pieces of junk. Not to say more modern styling isn't good but the 65 Mustang the 71 Fastback etc...are all classic designs that stand the test of time. That's why you have people of all ages trying to find them and restore them. You don't see people trying to restore a 1984 Civic and likely you never will.
More stylistic cars are coming out (Cadillacs,Chryslers) of American designers but I'd take a classic inspired Mustang or Camaro over something that is supposed to be futuristic but doesn't look a bit like the cars heritage. Case in point the Ford Probe. That thing was SUPPOSED to be a Mustang and futuristic. Thankfully the Mustang fans resoundingly said no and Ford didn't put the Mustang name on it.

Something along the lines of Ferrari and Lamborghini. I’m not saying all design concepts should look like that or for that matter be sport cars. I’m talking more in design terms, like the curvy and aerodynamic style. These new retro modern cars are boxy and dull. It does not attempt a futuristic design. I remember back in the 80s people were like “oh cars are going to fly in 2000”. So much for that idea .

people can't even drive in straight lines let alone 3 dimensions...

here's a ferrari wagon...







doesn't look all that different does it?

as far as curvy and aerodynamic... they were doing that in the late 80s and 90s.... the trend now is more angles and boxes, more like it was in the 70s to 80s

I forgot which car designer it was.. but he said,"Do not be a slave to the drag co-efficient." Reason being is that cars will then all tend to be the same flat shape and without any style.

I don't see those designs as so futuristic. The Lambo isn't all that much different than it's predecessors from the 80s and the same for the Ferarri.

Now how practical are either designs in hauling groceries? taking kids to school? going away for the weekend with 2 sets of golf clubs or luggage?

That's why I put up the picture of the Ferarri wagon, because that's at least a useful design.

I like the way the auto industry has gone back to box design, just like the Semi's they found out that the new design (ie. Kenworth T2000, didn't save as much fuel as they would have liked so they brought back the old W900 from the 80's). I just hope the new Monte Carlo rumored to go back to its 350(5.7L) rear wheel drive will be designed more like the classic!(and hope they don't mess it up like the GTO)

First off I would like to apoligize for "sucking at the internet".

Secondly I wouldn't call it all that much the same. Although I understand that it is not a proper vehicle for taking kids to school and all the such you mentioned. But I said not all concepts have to be like the Lamborghini and Ferrari in terms of “sportyness” and size. But I’m saying their design at least is looking into the future rather than past. Do you want to still be driving boxy cars in 2014?
