    This could've saved Buick from mediocrity. PT Cruiser, SSR, HHR, Thunderbird, Mustang. The retro fad is hot. Buicks these days look like they were built in '98

    yes thats the one from bad boys 2, if you look closely when they get out you can see the name on the fender panel. And buick wont build it because GM has no money. :P

    Ford would disagree, considering they've sold out of 05 Mustangs before they were even done building them. Retro is alive and well.

    yeh ford really did a good job with the new stang, and with the new shelby GT500(as long as they keep it under ~50k and in same production as the 03/04)

    Okay, let me reword my statement, retro is effectively over. Yes the Stang is selling good but it will have to be redesigned soon because it is so retro.

    Retro marketing is based on hitting emotional and fad buttons with buyers, it'll be short lived eventhough elements of past designs will always find their way into current ones.

    Because if they do they will continue the retro trend a bit longer and it MUST DIE!
