    I love the 458 and think its a gorgeous car. I really like the new GT and think it's very unique and breaks from the soap bar mold (458, 12C, R8, NSX,...). I think the GT looks longer than it is because its even lower (roof wise) than the last Ford GT, which is lower than the 458 and most other supercars. The GT was said to be developed in CFD and the Wind Tunnel to go fast (and to beat Ferrari) and I find that pretty cool, more than just a throwback to the original but still retaining some of its characteristics.

    I just can't get over the fact it's a V6 and not an 8..... just feels wrong.

    458s will tank, this GT more likely to keep its value

    This car was meant to have shock value styling. It was launched in co-ordination with X-Box One's new Forza 6, appearing on all the marketing material.

    When F car guys cant agree if the gt looks like a LaF or a 458 then Ford did a great job. Its better looking than anything Ferrari has done since the F40.

    Penned by an Aussie! And those styling effects people are trying to say are drawn from Ferrari, Mac, Lotus etc are just beautifully updated GT40: Large round tail lights - GT40, high exhaust - first seen on the GT40, front, look at it honestly - Mk 1 GT40.

    Very nicely done and obviously some aero work with La Sarthe in mind!!

    They will sell all they can make.

    It looks great.

    It should have a manual transmission as an option.



    The interior looks cheap - not a big deal. It would be a good idea for companies to offer hi-end gauges as an option.

    Excellent idea to keep weight down.

    This car will retain it's value.

    + a billion

    Please please please ford make this in a manual so I can buy one. I heard the price will be only 150k. If they can keep it to that its a absolute steal.
