I have a question and this does pertain to both Ford and Chevy, heck even Dodge. Why is it that all new autos "HAVE" to be be stylized in a European manner? I understand that times change and so does style but why can't European motors go more American? It's like for some odd reason quite a bit of auto critics make it seem as if Americanized design is "TABOO" in the automotive world. I for one am an American Muscle fan and suppport GM, Ford, MOPAR, etc. and love the designs of our vehicles, sspecially the 4th Gens. I guess what I'm trying to do is play devil's advocate and ask why should modern American muscle have to follow Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, Bugatti. Isn't that what had set hs apart from the european autos especially now recently with the retro designs?
Now I for one do agree that the retro styling has began to run it's course and do hope for new bodies for the Mustang and Camaro, I don't see the Challenger making another appearance however, but that's how I feel. I would just rather see the designs be aimed at a more innovative approach, instead of a "European" one. Look at what we have created so far, muscle with heritage performing at numbers that are beginning to rival those of Porsche and Ferrari, and if i dare say, exceeding those with the help of SLP, Hennessey, Shelby, Saleen etc. and handling circuits just as good...with of course some minor tweaking. Im just saying I wish we could still keep American Muscle, American and not have to rely on Germany, France, or Italy for their designs because our muscles have set a tone in the automotive world and a style on their own, I just would like to keep it that way.
K, now I'll step off my soapbox and continue on with my day.
