Dodge and Chevy going retro too?

That "damn ram head" has been an icon since the 30's for Dodges...remember my dad's 47 truck with the stylized head ornament? The sticker "If you can't dodge it, ram it" only comes with the trucks...

That's what I'm saying. It's an SUV Box on Wheels or a Fairlane FUBAR.

I don't get it. Why would they name this Fairlane? It looks like a yuppie minivan.

SSSSHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! They might hear you...lol...Just like Toyota did with the Scion xA and xB...talk about a shoebox on wheels...eh?!

But the Falcon namesake is still in production (it's my hopes and dreams that they'll bring over the Falcon like GM did the Manure-O/GTO (besides, the current Monaro design is supposed to die after this year anyway)). But they probably won't transplant the BA over here because the Fusion (Mazda 6 platform) and Five Hundred (Volvo S-40 platform) is close-enough (speaking the current design language of styling) to fill the compact and mid-size slots...

from what i understand GM ceased production of the comaro and firebird..but it would be good to see those classic lines re invented..i think they did justice with the new mustang..the 2000 model was nice enough..the model made in the 90,s..the 5.0.there was nothing mustang about it..it should have been the v8 ford capri or escort..even my favourite the corvette looks to european now..

Well, you know, the US Ford Maverick owners can't be too happy with what Ford of Australia put that name on.
