    Oh I loved these cars when they were new... though now they are peak late '80s - mid '90s styling and it shows.

    They certainly have more style than the generic jelly bean cars now produced. :thumbs2:

    Sure, but you can see where the jellybean cars came from with these designs. Plus the 165HP v8s and 125HP v6s of the era *felt* fast in 1995 but really aren't by modern standards.

    I still feel the pinnacle of design and performance for these cars was the Mark VII and Mark VIII. I miss my VII to this day.
