Hmmm:rolleyes: Somehow, when I read premium, affordable, high performance, and nostalgia in the same sentence I have trouble reconciling them. Somehow, I read that as somewhere between an SSR, the new (well, not so new now) T-Bird, and a forced-induction PT Cruiser. Somehow, I read affordable premium as $40K, not low $20Ks like a minimalist Z28. Somehow, I read nostalgic performance as a detuned, iron block, 5.3. Somehow, I read nostalgia baked in as half-baked. Somehow....I think you're probably right.
