The family cars when you were a kid thread brought on the nostalgia for when USA cars were stylin'. Sure they rode on soft suspensions, didn't corner or stop well, and were gas hogs. But we were Americans driving on straight roads and burning cheap gas.
Cindy's Camry is a great grocery getter...and it drives out well for what it is. But aesthetics? Well... even my now old, slow, and obsolete '09 Mustang looks exotic by comparison.
The '18 Mustang looks semi cool, but there is price grumbling among the Mustang loyalist set. A well equipped '18 GT 5.0 now stickers well north of $50K.
