I think we are ignoring the most important part guys....
V8 for 20,000$
If they can meet that price point it'll make me drool.

As far as I'm concerned it's a big nose and hips. At least the Charger looks good though.

That car looks mean, and if they sell them for 20-25k with a v8---they should sell like hotcakes!

I read in the dallas news paper that this car will be available in 2007 as a 2007 model. I like it. I think the v8 price will be starting more towards $31k.

the "intro" car will be 20 to 25... come on guys, you know how it works. With the big motor, 32k at least!!!! PLUS, think about all the tree huggin emissions stuff in 3 years...it will prob. be a hybrid, or shut cylinders down for highway crusin- if you want a cam, buy a 67,68, or 69....

The car is growing on me too.... It might be one of those cars that looks better in person. I guess I'll need to go to the car show this year again.

Might do pretty good in circles too. One of the best things about the new Maro is the IRS. I can decide if I like it or not. The first gen was by far my favorite body style but this looks almost to modern, Im not even sure yet. It looks pretty good but I think GM will screw it up when it comes to the price. They need to be right in line with the Mustang GT but Im sure they wont and thats where they will loose sales. In recent years GM hasnt been to smart.
