That IS a sweet little car. I'll be interested to hear if the test drives of the production version live up to the looks of the concept...

Really? When I blew the motor on the Miata several years ago (it was going to die anyway, I just sped up the process), I was considering either a rotary swap OR a V-8 swap!

Me too... I walked past a house with a Monte Carlo SS on the way to elementary school. But if you think about it, there weren't may cool cars from the 80's.

One of these too... Old school Rivieras rock, especially the 64's like the one pictured. 465 lb ft of torque.

I thought I mentioned the Riv already? Anyway, I prefer the "hidden headlight" ones like on Roadhouse. I'm the same way about old Camaros...
