But I agree, no competition makes cars boring. Or at least, more boring then they should be. Look at the Mustang, right now: Ford could do so much better.
i respectfully disagree. if the Mustang had not sold so well and proven there was still a large pony car market, GM would have never considered bringing the maro back. and actually, in my opinion, the 5th gen has much more retro styling than the Mustang. it is basically a modern day exact retro duplicate of the '69. the Mustang does have retro styling ques but from many different generations, including the '99-'04s. just look at the tail lights.
