Well your right Ron61, they are not "Eleanors" per se, I was just tongue in cheek making a comparison. The "new" version of these GT-CR's leans more toward Eleanor styling than it does toward the orginial look though. Myself I prefer the original look/style, these seem a little to over the top from a styling perspective. Kind of like styling adaptations on the original Cobra 427 look/style. It's pretty hard to improve on a classic, simple, timeless design that was inspired by "function" first and it happened to look terrific almost as an after thought. What we have with the modern version is a pure design effort with function as an after thought, and it shows.
