Don't feel too bad, I must just be getting old, as I don't care for
the styling of most new cars on the market. Take for instance the new
Pontiac GTO. I'm sure they could have made this car a little more
anonymous, but I'n not sure how. I love the interior layout and
details, but the outside looks a lot like every other Pontiac for the
last few years. And don't even get me started on the C6 Corvette, or
the latest Viper. Even if I had that kind of money to spend (and I
most assuredly do not) I think I would opt for a classic. Now the new
Ford GT, that's another story all together. That car, more than
anything else, is responsible for my occasional purchase of a lottery
ticket.
That's why I stopped looking at Fiero's, Firebirds, and Camaro's when
I wanted a sports car, and started looking a Sprite's Midget's and
Spitfires. Sure I could have got a faster car for less money, but
that's not really the point, is it. Everyone has a style all their
own. Some can drive Civic's and Corrola's some can't. Some are
happiest in a 5600# Sport Brutality Vehicle, others loath such
vehicles. To each their own.
