That Vapor Blue GT in that picture looks stunning to me. I'd place an order now if I could. It's the best looking GT since the S197, BY FAR. It's even up there with the S550 GT500 for looks, IMHO.
Wow! I like it WAY more than I thought I would. I could see myself dailying that gray/blue (Vapor Blue is the name?) GT coupe, or maybe a Dark Horse if it comes in that color, with a blower and maybe more aggressive cams.
They fixed the entire back half of the ugly European looking S550 IMHO...
Just my random thoughts on it:
-Looks very cool
-I wouldn't mind a V8 hybrid option. I don't care for sound system V8 noise, I want real cammed V8 sound and feel.
-Cost. New cars are already way too expensive. Adding more and more exotic materials and newer tech isn't going to address that...
As someone that daily's a 392 Charger, it's a FANTASTIC daily driver for someone with a family. It's relatively quick, handles and brakes well for what it is, it fits a family of 4 or 5 comfortably, and they look great IMHO. I never thought I'd drive a 4 door, but it won me over. Also...
I've been considering getting back into an S197 (supercharged) again for a daily. They just look fantastic to me. It's hard to beat a 392 Charger for a daily for comfort and being a little more practical, though.
THIS. In a world absolutely filled with soulless, ugly, commuting pods, I just hope Pony/Muscle Cars survive in the near future. The more options, the better.

Performance, cool, CUV fugly. It looks like a Honda CRV and Civic had a baby. I can't wait for the CUV craze to end.
This Mach-E needs to sway 2 usually brand loyal customer bases. Tesla buyers/owners who usualy buy for what they think is "cool" and a badge of honor or status symbol (and for completely opposite reasons that the traditional Mustang is a symbol of). And Honda CRV/Toyota RAV4 buyers/owners...
I'm surprised this is even a thing anymore. With all the tech the authorities and other drivers have now plus all the distracted, clueless drivers out there, plus more traffic in general. Honestly, why chance it? I love to go fast, but there are safer ways to do it and I don't care where...
Great post. Much like how so many people still buy Hondas b/c of reliability, but from what I have seen, they are currently below industry average in initial quality ratings.(FWIW): https://www.jdpower.com/business/press-releases/2019-initial-quality-study-iqs
