2016 Ford GT steals the Detroit Motor Show

Well, mixed feelings for me...
Ford GT Overall rating : :unsure::unsure::thumbsup: Slightly enthusiastic with lots of doubts.
:thumbsup: : - very efficiënt aerodynamics
:thumbsdown: : - looks a bit "un-Americanized" to appeal to the European market, lost its distinguished looks. I like that specific American look, I don't want semi-European Amrican cars.
- a downsized turbo engine. I don't mind the turbo, but the massive V8 is what made this car to what it was, brutal and uncivilized. I fear with this version, it won't feel the same any more. If owned one of these, I'd take it to Mr. Hennessey for an upgrade ;)
- if Ford wanted to appeal European buyers, they'll have to step up with the quality and look of the interior. I think it's ugly, and they should have kept the H-gear in stead of paddles.
It looks like they weren't really sure where to go with this car.

Nothing like the original.

Agree with your point on the interior, black all over is a wee bit bland, but the exterior more than makes up for it IMHO :)
