Who said we like it? Other than the great sounding aluminum V-10 under the hood, I think the car is stinky looking. Sort of a TT looking POS. In fact, I wish they did name it an "Avenger" or MorpheusMachine", anything but Cobra. When I watched the "Rides" show where they propped up ol' CS for a few minutes (I got a kick out of seeing him look at the computer screen of the CAD program, like he was really giving ANY input to these talking faces!) I knew they were just trying to market some new $hitbox with a proven winner's name. PS, wouldn't be the first time Shelby has been accused of that -- can u say MOPAR???
I didn't buy Jorache jeans in the 70's, and I won't buy them now even if they are in "style". This new car is definitely for the country club set wanting to say, with a stuffy ego-centric voice, that they have an ORIGINAL Cobra (something we've all gotten fairly bored of!) They can stick it right where Janet's right breast belongs!
