If this car had been named the Avenger GXT, or the GT550, or even Daisey (anything but "Cobra"), would you like it any better?

Who said we like it? Other than the great sounding aluminum V-10 under the hood, I think the car is stinky looking. Sort of a TT looking POS. In fact, I wish they did name it an "Avenger" or MorpheusMachine", anything but Cobra. When I watched the "Rides" show where they propped up ol' CS for a few minutes (I got a kick out of seeing him look at the computer screen of the CAD program, like he was really giving ANY input to these talking faces!) I knew they were just trying to market some new $hitbox with a proven winner's name. PS, wouldn't be the first time Shelby has been accused of that -- can u say MOPAR???

I didn't buy Jorache jeans in the 70's, and I won't buy them now even if they are in "style". This new car is definitely for the country club set wanting to say, with a stuffy ego-centric voice, that they have an ORIGINAL Cobra (something we've all gotten fairly bored of!) They can stick it right where Janet's right breast belongs!
