I was looking more for sexy than cute, but I'll take it

hehe, sorry Steve...

If it makes you feel any better, cute = sexy in my vocab. The only entity worthy of being called straight-up SEXY is my car.

Sorry man, I just don't like it. It looks way too much like the new Chrysler's, none of which I like either.

The new Mustang doesn't do much for me, too much old with too much new (even though I like the old 60s Mustangs). As for the GT, that's a sexy (if overpriced) beast.

No offense intended to either of you, but I must thank you gentleman for the much needed comic relief

Ah, now that's what it really reminds me of, the new Mitsubishi Eclipse Concept-E. Both rather ugly, IMHO, but the drivetrain of the Eclipse is quite a bit more interesting than that of the Hyundai, seeing as its a performance hybrid combining a V6 with an electric in an AWD configuration.

I'll own-up to the appeal of the retro factor. The front end of the upcoming Mustang reminds me very much of my old '68.

I saw a print ad recently for some GM (I think) plastic sport-ute/truck/thing with a header along the lines of, "What did you expect from designers who grew up playing with Transformers?"

Well, exactly, only they never grew up. And their creations don't look stylish, they look childish.
