You must have never driven a New Edge, SN-95, or a first generation Mustang if you think the S197 is "definitely unrefine." They are far from perfect but the S197 is solid IMO. What other SLA muscle/sports car handles as well as a S197.
S550 has it's issues, but overall the quality is great...
And I've seen the originals plenty of times so what does that have to do with anything? Guess what, times change, get over it. Nothing wrong with a female lead.
