"The '04 looks like a lot of other cars on the road. So what? So did the '64. "

"more like ALL of the other cars on the road. i dont recall comapring the 64 to the 04."

I don't know who quoted what up there but the old argument that the 64 as an introductory GT0 ( then as an option on the Tempest ) looked like a lot of other cars as a valid argument to the 2004 as a introductory GTO 40 yrs later looking like a lot of other cars is totally irrelevant and not comparable at all. In 1964 US cars looked distinctly different from their Eastern Pacific Rim competitors, if you could even call them competitors at that time...and there weren't that many of them! Unlike today where there are both foreign and domestic manufacturers competing on the same soil and in greater numbers sharing the same industrial fleet design.
