I'm not Paul, but I thought I'd stick my oar in anyway. I've seen a front three-quarter shot of the new Challenger, and quite like the look from that angle. I don't really like the appearance of the new GT500, though; I guess I'm just not a fan of high beltlines. I also don't think much of the latest Shelby concept car (which, I guess, is supposed to be reminiscent of the Cobra Daytona). I saw the new one on the stand the San Jose auto show on Saturday. For a money-no-object retro car, though, the Ford GT is hard to beat!
