What's wrong with it is the same thing IMHO that is wrong with the Camaro. The roof is too low. It has lost it's classic proportions, and the old style grille can't make up for that. As far as retro-cars go, Ford got it right with the Mustang.

During this event we had 4-5 different training modules, it included everything from discussions on the bare chassis, to driveline & suspension, to the targeted market, autocrossing the car in the paddock area, to driving the car in the hills in Monterey, to lead follow excercises on the track. My profession might be with Mercedes Benz and my passion is with Porsche, but I believe that a car like this only comes along once in a lifetime. It's that amazing.

I can still be ugly and amazing, my comments have nothing to do with the quality or performance, or overall feel of the car. It's just not attractive, AT ALL, to me. To each his own.
