Thanks, they’re generally easy to spot and I’m happy to yank their chain for a bit. The reference to sleeping at night is a classic attempt to close off the conversation with a “win”. Just as an aside, I made a living crafting l commercial leases, so language is my forte. I would never use most...

Hey, I’m not the one who started this ridiculous back and forth. I’m putting it down to an American who just can’t stand to be wrong.

From Merriam-Webster.com: much noun 1: a great quantity, amount, extent, or degree She gave away much of what she owned So while you are correct that the Camaro production run was exactly half that of the S197 run, “much”, as used in my comment, is correct, rendering that portion of your...

Okay, I’ll rephrase to “…much of that run”.

Not suggesting another material, merely pointing out that the plastic of the time didn’t look any worse than competitors, or further, that great compared to more modern materials.

Not a fan. Not because I am opposed to tech, but the lack of styling cues, of any kind. As mentioned above, without the logos on the wheel and passenger side, it could be anything recent. For what it’s worth, I drove a friend’s Model 3 and did not like the tablet in the centre design in that either.

Notwithstanding the current terminology, when I was a teenager (some 45 years ago) rims were the things the tires went on, as in “Those Cragar SS rims you put on your car are the coolest!”

Those were right and left handed, were they not?

Will people want to spend the money on the HPP package and be happy with the A10? I took an auto because it suited my cruiser intentions for the car. If I was looking at a coupe with performance in mind I’d be wanting a stick.

Re the family thing. Mustang has not had any Ford badging for awhile. I can easily see them leaving Ford branding for the trucks and Mustang having our cars, a sedan (when they come back in fashion) and the Mach E, even more so as the ICE disappears in favour of electric.

I find the fogs are handy on very dark roads, as they light up the edges better than just h/lights alone. I also use them on rainy nights here on the highways, as the lane markings seem to disappear under those conditions and, again, the fogs do a good job of lighting them up.

I don’t understand :( over the Jag, if I could afford it iwould be happy to be driving one!

I’m meh on exterior, and agree with those who suggested S550 will be pinnacle of design, with a nice cross of modern with historical styling cues. Interior is definitely a “no” for me. I like my digital dash and dual cowl look much better. I understand that giant screens are how we are going...

I see the problem as trying to apply a nearly 60 year old name tag to a modern vehicle. The original was light, inexpensive and fun. I would even suggest that the ‘71-‘73 had moved away from being a real pony car, with a curb weight a half ton more than the original. It returned with the Fox...

I’d like to clarify that my comment about not aging well was in reference to the interior (and mostly the dash and centre stack), and not the exterior.
