I don't know why they always make those pictures so unrealistic looking. I do believe the power output expectations though. I hope that they add a 6 speed manual and get rid of the 5 speed in the GT at least.

I like the retro designs. Its allowing American producers to create products that not only look good, but sell fast. The Charger? Awesome. Mustang? Untouchable. Camaro? Going to be huge. Plus, it allows automakers to tap into the good designs they had in testeryear. The 5's and 60's were a high watermakr for American automakers and they want to recreate that by using the same formula that led them to such success. Liek whatever happend to the good ol' American RWD V8 sedan? Imapala? Now a FWD V6 or V8. The Crown Vic is all we got left. Only now we've got the Charger. American Muscle ruled the streets during the 60's, and now they hope it will rule the streets of today. Plust, Toyota and Honda dont have the heretige that Chevrolet or Ford does. And now if you have a good design in the boardroom, that will translate into high sales in the showroom. I just hope that it isnt relied too heavily upon. We still need fresh designs. The optimum design mixes old and new into somthing instatly recognisable as -blank-, but still look fresh and modern. I.E. the new Mustang.
