Anachronistic muscle-car flavor doesn't translate well in 2000.
Big engine means dismal fuel economy.
Rough ride, skittish once you leave smooth pavement. But nostalgia isn't always the magic ingredient. It's one thing to establish a retro look, as Chrysler has done so successfully with vehicles like the PT Cruiser and the Prowler. Looks good, feels quick, sounds great. It's the execution that leaves me shaking my head.
