Oh, I'm with you. From what we've heard, it was ugly and overpriced, and now it's thirsty. My point is that the hero factor was pretty minimal from the beginning.
Make it four large and I'll head out into the ice right now to pick it up. Not kidding. This has all the earmarks of an epic driver: rust-free, four-door, SBC, endless upgrade paths. I'd rock this thing as a driver.
The good things: 1. The scrolling story bar is potentially useful. 2. The big splash picture was briefly interesting.
The bad things: 1. Can't seem to see all the comments in expanded mode. No offense intended to the writers, but the commentariat is the main attraction for me and anything that impedes viewing what we have to say is very negative. 2. Even worse than not being able to read the comments in expanded mode, when I do click deeper, I can't seem to back out to the same place I clicked in from. Instead, I have to start at the main story again. Never thought I'd get frustrated at looking at an Astin, but there it is.
His mistake was going for a two-door. If he wanted a sleeper, he should've stuck to a four-door, and preferrably any brand except Chevy. A slantback Cutlass would be effective, or even a Seville. This car is just too nice looking and raises my sleeper sense.
