The downside is not only that its a Ford we have to endure David Hasselhoff again. He was wildly popular in Germany when I was there and I developed an even bigger dislike of him.

I will go ahead and represent the mustang community by saying this IS NOT a proud moment in any way, shape, or form. Remakes of lame old (especially 80s) TV shows are rarely successful and I truely wish GM had a Firebird out for duty on this one. It would at least add to the nostalgia and there are few things I hate more than a riced out Mustang.

They should have used a Vette, on second thought, the Vette doesnt deserve it either.

This could have been a great moment for GM to unveil a TA on the new platform.

Oh well.

This is like a remake of Bullitt using an '07 GTO.
