Watch it end up being a low slung four door CUV. ;) Similar to the "Eclipse" and "Mustang."
Or the Acura hybrid that lasted like one year. It was atrocious.

But speaking of, I saw the electric Mustang in person today. It looks awful. My wife asked me if they always made a Mustang station wagon, lol.
They had one at the local dealer. Agree, it’s hideous and I’m not really clear why there is a Mustang nameplate on it.

I can't wait for the egg-shaped car fad to die off.

Watched an older episode of ***** Rides this morning, and it featured one of my favorite cars that they've ever done - a 63 split-window Corvette. I generally would prefer a stock 63 split-window or 67 Stingray, but holy hell would I make an exception for this.

And that color... just perfect.

Cool car but why do they put modern wheels on these cars? It looks out of place. That color does too.

The only original piece of that car is the body shell. It has a custom frame and suspension, and an LSX motor.

My race driver friend likes it, but he races for Nissan, so....

It looks like more of the same, and it hasn't really been changed in 20 years. Maybe with that gaping maw of a grill they've solved their on-track overheating problems.

I like the nod to the older generations with the rear lights, but the overall shape of the car just doesn't do it for me.

I imagine it's like the Supra and looks better in person, but, yeah.

I've seen the new Supra in person... didn't change my mind about it. The body lines along the rear sides, and rear end, just oof. I very much prefer the 2JZ Supras.

It looks like an overweight Grand Cherokee that somebody left a few pianos on to flatten it out.

They shouldn't be calling it a Wagoneer without fake wood accents.

Apparently anonymity is what sells. After all, you can barely discern a cross over from BMW and Audi from one made by Kia and Hyundai. I think it's ridiculous as I prefer a vehicle with personality, but it seems like most folks want something that just blends up. :shrug:

Edit, I had no idea there was actually a shrug emoji on this board.

For that price, you can get a restomodded Waggoneer.

That's one of the funny things in Breaking Bad. They're supposedly poor as hell but the NTP66 wife is driving around in a fully restored Wagoneer.

Looks like they took the nose/headlights and rear lights of the old one and threw it on a 350/370z body.

That reminds me of Mare of Eastown. This white trash loser teen with white trash loser parents drives around in a fully restored 1st gen Bronco. Every time it was on screen, all I could think was, "That's a $75K+ vehicle!"

I like the styling of the new Z myself, although it needs to be a hatchback, but it's not.
