I think it's funny when people complain about it not looking like a muscle car. Does no one remember that the original wasn't really supposed to be a muscle car? It was a pony car. See the list here: [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_car"]Muscle car - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame] .Which represented a smaller, lighter, more compact "sports car" option than the muscle cars. Traditional muscle cars were the Chevelles and Chargers and GTO's while pony cars (Mustang, Camaro, Challenger) were American companies trying to do a more European style small sports car. They still ended up rather large, but the idea was there.
Just because it's become a huge boat of a muscle car doesn't mean it always was or should stay that way. The original Mustang was by far the smallest and lightest of the original pony/muscle cars.
EDIT-I can't make it stop doubling up on the link. What the heck.
