The car didn't generate exitement, the idea of the car did, big difference! <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

I don't think there was as much anticipation or demand for a new T-Bird as there was a GTO. When Ford came up with the idea of a new T-Bird a few people thought "Why not?" In relation to the GTO, for 30 years GM had been petitioned with "You Must!"....and they blew it.
