Call it GTsuckmyb*lls because I really don't even like the car and hope it never disgraces my eyes on a highway.

Unless you just really don't like retro, rerun design, I don't know what's not to like about it. I've seen it in person. It's a very attractive car. With only 1500 (if I remember right) being produced over a 3 year span, there's a good chance you won't see one.

I just don't think it should be produced, it should be one of those supercar concepts that never get put into production...

So what's the point of building a concept supercar if it doesn't go into production...unless you're Cadillac with the Cien. That car SHOULD be built in similar numbers to GT, talk about a Caddy image booster. I can't think of any reason why you'd buy a Ford GT over a 700 HP V12 Cien.

I kinda like it.

I don't think I'd call it retro in design because it's not Thunderbird/SSR/Mini/PT Cruizer/or Beetle-ish in nature, or a cartoonish rendition of a previous era. It's certainly modern in design, and it most certainly doesn't look like it's a throwback to a bygone era.

Just my 2 cents.
