Was looking at it last night in picts and didn't really care for it but it's constantly growing on me.

That said, the instrument panel on it is really beautiful

I don't know why, there's this cheesy look/feel I get about that car from that picture. It's either the paint and/or the wheels and tires, and perhaps even that spoiler, or the B pillar..

Anyway my fav. has to be the Scaglietti. Absolutely beautiful.

maybe not at the detroit auto show, but frickin' awesome:

teh microbus, for teh rest of us!

The microbus is nice, but I'm wondering what the cost on something like that will be. VW has been tring to go more upscale of late and I bet that thing will be pushing 30k (if not more!)

That was at the 2001 Detroit Auto Show (NAIAS = North American International Auto Show). Very groovy but the front was a bit grim.

Very cool!
I was wondering why I liked it, I never really like 'American' sports cars

Some of these `rice mobiles' are waaaaay prettier than this. Mazda RX-8

I could actually see myself buying that Mustang.

I cannot see myself ever even test driving the current one.

I guess Ford did something right in my eyes (finally)! Now they need to clean up the hideous Taurus.
