I just think it's a beautiful piece of automotive sculpture. The interior looks very racy. The flying buttresses really accentuate the athletic form of the GT. It still has a bit of the GT40 in it (circular tail lights, headlight shape, etc), but, overall, it's a whole new thing.
I feel like if the GT were continuously in production this would be the next logical evolution of it. The last generation GT was obviously an homage to the original... With this one, it's like the attitude at Ford was, "We know we could do another GT40 tribute/rehash, but we're better than that. The GT should be an exhibition of our capabilities. A real halo car."
The Mustang kinda did the same thing. It had a retro look, and then it was modernized to the current generation while still having a few hints of the original. It is a thoroughly modern interpretation of the american muscle car.
With the Fiesta ST, Focus RS (coming soon), Mustang GT350 (w/ the 5.2L, 500 hp, flat-plane V8) and now this thing, they have a complete line up of performance cars. I'm digging where Ford is going (they just need to bring more wagons here...
Focus ST Wagon,
Mondeo/Fusion ST Wagon).
Upgrade your grey matter 'cause one day it may matter.
Don't be in such a hurry to condemn a person because they don't do what you do, or think as you think. There was a time when you didn't know what you know today...
