I can see what you’re saying. Having said that, it’s a lazy design. They had/have the opportunity to reinvigorate an entire brand, and while choosing to look back on one of the most striking designs from their history is a good call, choosing this dated low-polygon style of design is not forward thinking. It’s like…

Perhaps not completely crazy but you’re straining really hard to make it seem that a brutalist design looks like what Enzo Ferrari is reported to have called the most beautiful car ever made. Both cars are fastback coupes with long hoods but proportions aren’t anything alike. The E Type is sinuous, with distinct…

Where are the rear turn signals on this thing?

Your argument might be more convincing if Jaguar hadn’t designed the thing on an N64.

Whose going to pay the premium over the outgoing models? Especially in this upcoming anti-EV admin w/o EV credit.

I’m just an numptie that cant spell “MBA”, but it appears the biz plan was during COVID, raise prices per 6th grade-esque supply/demand curve principles. Then after COVID, KEEP those prices despite very new, very different supply/demand curve slopes, then stand agog whilst sales drop off a cliff.

Don’t you mean government bailouts and foreign tariffs?

“German smashes words together”

There is going to be a lot of uncertainty coming up. That is bad for business and bad for cars.

I try to stay away from making assumptions about the people who drive certain vehicles unless they’re dumb enough to plaster their vehicles with Confederate flags or whatever.

Fuck yeah. Our minivan was awesome. If you have active kids and need to haul them, their friends, and all their stuff, there’s no better way to go. Going out with your dad-guy buddies? Minivan. You can plug the cooler in the back, designate a driver, and party until it’s time for bed at 10:45.

My dad, who died in 2022, used “jack leg” as a way to refer to shoddy work. So thanks for reminding me of him.

Agreed! I came here to say this exact thing.

I agree.  It’s very likely a Bondo Bird

As a prior owner of both 2^nd and 3^rd gens, this gives me lipstick on a pig vibes. If you’re selling this, and for this much money, in theory the oil pan and fuel pump leaks should be easy fixes to scratch off the “cons” list. Why then are they selling it without doing the “easy” fix? The car looks good but so did the 3…

Also a former 2nd gen owner and agree on all points. Time seems to heal all wounds though, because after 15 years, I’m somehow pining for another one...

I am a former 2nd-gen F-body owner and therefore a hater of all things 2nd-gen F-body. Sure, they look good, but only by owning one will you discover the cost cutting and shitty assembly.  ND.

This screaming chicken screams Boomer. Its home would be Cars and Coffee. And, as a Boomer, I voted NP because the price for admission isn’t too steep, especially compared to some newer European options.
