Oh, hell, I could wax eloquently and bore the shit out you. So I won't. I just thought the 2010 5th really captured the old and the new very well. Not too much retro and not too 'futuristic' fluff. Out!

I'm a little newer than you (1963) and when I was in high school in the late 1970s, the parking lot was full of Camaros, Novas, Mopars, Mustangs, and even a few 55/56/57 Chevys among others. Being poor and one of those kids without a car of any kind until my senior year (66 Impala), I was envious.
The moment I saw the prototype 5th gen in 2007, I knew that some day I would have one. Today I have two...grin...
