Lukewarm on the new Charger style, like the new Challenger. Looks more like the original.
Same here, I don't care for the Charger (kinda like the SRT version though), but the Challenger looks like a fun car to own. I only wish it would be available with a stick.

Holy crap, if it's true that these are going to be priced in the $30,000 range, I'm going to seriously consider getting one.

This concept wouldn't be street legal in NJ, but looks cool as hell:

Trust me...if I didn't have a baby on the way(and the wife would let me), I would jump at the opportunity to get a new Vette.

I think they're still lacking in the looks department. Sure, it might perform as well as a 911 or F430, but which one looks better? In that price range, I'd rather have a Cayman personally.

I don't know, the Vette is pretty spiffy looking. I love Porsches, especially the GT3 and Twin Turbo 911's, but I'm not sure I could go Cayman over Z06, but I would definately choose the Cayman over the standard Covettes. Trust me when I say, I would not be opposed to having both the Porsches and Vette in my garage.

As for the Ford GT, I would choose them overall listed, considering the far more exotic and rare.

I saw one of these up close recently. I had never really considered them anything more than a Ford halo car for the auto magazines to try and compare against Italian exotics. I was sure wrong, the car was the best looking machine I have ever seen in-person. I thought it was perfection, very stylish but also all business.

My wife and I attended a fashion show put on by Lamborghini of Houston, in which they had several Lamborghini's, a Ferrari 430, a Bentley GT, and a couple of Ford GT's on display. Of all the cars at the show, the GT's were literally surrounded by gawkers. In person, the car is nothing short of amazing.

The Ford GT is awesome. I also would take it over any of the other listed cars.
