| Price as Tested | $32,610 |
| Likes | 300-hp V8 has enough power to pass two semi trucks without a second thought; deep throaty exhaust note sounds like Bullitt; surprising trunk provides ample space even with top down; attractive without clichés retro styling. |
| Dislikes | Ergonomics of center console need help; shift linkage feels spongy; rear tire-to-fender gap looks odd. |
| Verdict | Delivers a lot of performance along with an aggressive style that pays homage to its pony heritage. Driving with the top down is fun, unless you are in the back seat. With all the boring soap bar style cars on the market today, it’s refreshing to see something that takes back the 60s musclecar heritage. |
