What do you think like it or not like it (tires, Mustang)

[chiluvr1228]

Don't love either one of them. I like the way the older ones look like the 2010 model. But then I still like the older Mustangs, hate the new ones. I'm actually considering getting a Veloster even though it was named one of the ugliest cars a few year ago. I think it's cool looking.

Whats up with the huge rims and very low profile tires on cars today? This car would look better with the wheels/tires they used to put on sports cars in the 60s and 70s

I prefer either a full retro treatment (Camaro/Challenger) or modern with just a hint of retro styling (most recent Impala & Charger). The first one is two much of a forced mixture, but the second wouldn't be bad with a little tweaking.

Besides the look of sports cars, bigger diameter brakes needing bigger diameter wheels for clearance, and better suspensions allowing lower profile tires for superior handling (less sidewall flex) without sacrificing ride. Even basic sedans benefit from these changes.

The first one is a little too busy and it is hard to get a handle on the 2nd one. I still like the idea of these being produced. I am all for more fun choices.

This one, while still not my cup of tea, is much better.

It's very hard to blend retro with modern and not have it look like a bad cartoon.

I agree. I am not really a fan of any of the Camaro, Mustang, etc. with the retro "look". Although some years of Mustang pull it off a little better.


The thing I don't like about the Challenger is it's HEAVY. I would expect a Challenger Hellcat to be one Hell of a handful, driving at any real speed.

It looks like every other car on the road to me. 4 wheels, a steering contraption, some doors. All exactly the same.

Not!

The design is overwrought.
