Will the pony car ever return as the sort of vehicle that sells in the tens of thousands, or will it be resigned to a niche product?
Car enthusasts, myself included, seem happy with the look of the new Mustang, but I have heard that average car buyers surveyed don't like it.
So what's the verdict, is this concept doomed :?:

Traditional pony car

Yeah, Mustangs always sell. I always thought of them as the American-Ferrari... I donno why, it just seems that way.

I love the new Mustang. Hate the current one. What exactly is the definition of "pony car"?

Well, the 1964 1/2 Mustang was the first pony car. A sporty compact basically, obviously that didn't include the intermediate sized Chevelles and what have you. The term pony car alludes to a couple of things, for one the term "ponies" because these sporty cars had some horses under the hood. Also, the Mustang was the first pony car, Mustang, horse, pony there's some link there as well. :11:
