The new V6 engine is weak sauce, but the V8 isn't bad for the price.
I'm 21 and I like old cars. I think it looks pretty good.
There are two design elements that I think could have been done better. The rear 1/4 windows seem to be too small and surrounded by a lot of metal. That was not the case on the original. Also I think the rear overhang is too long but that's probably to make the trunk reasonably large. Still looks a bit odd in the side profile.
The car looks nice but the problem with a retro design is how to figure out what you do to replace the damn thing.
