I don't see a new mustang as "American Muscle" my sister has one and it is nothing compared to the 1968 GTO I have sitting in the garage, not much "muscle" in my opinion. The exterior is very retro and I actually love it, but I see 10-15 a day, where if I see about 1 maybe 2 G35's. But it's all about personal taste. I bought my daughter a new Mazda 3 and to her it's the best car on the planet. To each his own.

I've had a good mix of domestic and (Japanese) imports:

'79 Datsun/Nissan 280ZX
'83(?)Nissan 280ZX Turbo SE
'91 Ford Mustang GT (modded)
'97 Mistubishi Eclipse GSX (modded)
'55 Chevy Bel Air 2-door Hardtop street rod (heavily modded 468ci bb)
'03 Chevy Cavalier (beater)
'05 Infiniti G35 coupe (modded)

I can see benefits and negative things about all of these cars, but I tend to appreciate them for what they did have to offer. I consider this a normal stance for most car guys/girls. I try to ignore those "car guys" that are loyal to only domestics or imports and who never give credit when and where it's due on the other side.

 

I agree. Every car has something to offer except Geo Metro's and Dodge Neon's, unless of course if its for demolition derby.

 

^loll +1...so true...but back to topic...theres no real car better than another, that someone with enough money cant just make better than the one you have.... I think ppl get bought out by looks, fancy interior, high hp #'s and so forth...everyone is entitled to what they like but must give credit to where it is deserve and just realize that the next car you see might be better than the one you have. I love my G and i think its the best thing out ( not compared to an Aston Martin, my dream car i can afford in a hundred years), but i still give cred to where it is needed.
