Or perhaps these 2008-09 lineups:......

Stang:

Base: 3.5L V6 at 250hp ($20-22K)

GT: 4.6L 3V V8 at 325-350hp ($25-27K)

Boss: 4.6L 4V V8 at 375-400hp ($30-32K)

Mach I: 5.4 4V V8 at 400-425hp ($30-32K)

GT500: SC 5.4 V8 at 475-500hp ($35-37K)
I like your line of thinking. This would definately make things interesting. The pricing is overly optimistic. I know that offering this many models adds cost for Ford, but having that much choice when walking into the dealership would be a thing of beauty.

With all of those models, which ones would the dealer's choose to over-inflate with ADM?

I like the car up to this point. Redo the grille
100% agree. They need to get rid of that wedge shaped front end. Man, with all this new competition coming I'm going to need to trade up or get a supercharger.

I'm a fan of all muscle cars. That front end, however, is downright ugly. Funny how GM was bad mouthing retro until they saw how many Mustangs sold.
GM only bad mouthed retro because it had nothing to compete. But it was doing retro while bad mouthing it (HHR and SSR).I would love to see someone ask Bob Lutz about it though.

I also like the Challenger way better than the Camaro. I will refrain from giving my opinion on a GT500/Challenger comparison. Let's just say I like the Challenger alot (doesn't matter as I'm not planning on spending $40K on my next car)

some of the things I would change on the car if it goes production

I would get rid of the air opening on the fasica, that's what the cowl induction hood is for.

The cut in the roof is a little ricey for me

I know its more of a 'vette thing, but i would make the rear window a tunnelback to make the trunk opening bigger. The cobalt's trunklid is useless

Two words - F-UGLY!!

My first impression is that this thing is revolting

To me it looks like the horrible love child of a Challenger and the XLR...

And I like the challenger! WTH happened :scratch:







Oh yeah, and people are clamoring for HHRs as well!

I like it, but it needs to be toned down...
Too many angles/cuts...

You can totally tell its a C6 designer job... very cut like the C6. not really a huge fan of that.
It could use a bit more smooth cuts than sharp ones...

You beat me to it!! I was going to say the same thing. Maybe they were trying to appease the Firebird guys as well since only the Camaro is coming back.

It will probably never go into production, Chevy spends so much money on the concept cars, and then they never go into production or they destroy the concept entirely. Thats why they're going into the toilet.

I like the overall shape.

If it ever is produced, hope many of the "extra" styling touches will be toned down.
