Sorry, that is too funny.
So true about the lack of marketing by Dodge. Same thing destroyed the 04-06 GTO (ok, the GTOs bland looks didn't help either).
When it comes to Retro, however, I think Dodge nailed it point blank. The 05-09 Mustang has retro themes from various model years, though primarily the 67 comes through as the most noticable. But the Dodge Challenger looks closer to the acual 70s car. Only the 2004 Ford GT (GT40) looks closer to the original car than the new Challlenger.

How many have been asked how they like their new Mustang ! Mostly those in mid 30's or younger . My waitress today where I have eaten for the past year almost every morning . Asked if that was my new Black Mustang . I said Challenger . She said Mustang Challenger . I said NO! It is a Dodge Challenger. She gave me a funny look and said she loved the looks of it . That is about the 5th time I've had to explain that Dodge made a car called the Challenger back in the 70's to different people . And now again. I even had one person say the new Mustang look's much better than the old one. Then I had to explain to them it wasn't a Mustang .
