fueled the supercar dreams of a generation with a made-in-America patriotism that would beat Ferrari and Lamborghini at their own games.

I suppose this reduces the chance of us having to look at it.  And that is a good thing.

Why has no one commented on its absolutely hideous front end? It looks like someone has slashed its face.
