Damn that GT is ugly.
Am I the only person on this planet that is NOT attracted to that car at all?

possibly!
But attractiveness is subjective, and if it weren't, who'd sleep with all the ugos?

Like the Mustang, it's a retro-style. Trying to bring back the good ol' days of Ford Racing. I don't like the rear bumper, otherwise, being an olde guy, it reminds me of my much younger days..........................

that bumper is to meet the canadian safety standards. So you can park your GT in markham and only have to deal with paint scrapes.
A lot of guys in Canada have been pulling that bumper off tho.
BTW... I should have taken a picture of the EVO's rear bumper so you can see what they did to make it Canadian-compliant....

They've added a big plastic piece to the back of the bumper.... let me see if I can find a pic...
ah..here we go.. the gray piece comes out a good inch or more from the rear bumper and is meant to take the blow of a rear impact at low speed without damaging anything..

not sure the pic gives a good sense of scale, but it sticks out pretty far when you see it in real life... it's like a second bumper, like the GT's.

its kind of a good idea.. so in tight parking that plastic piece takes the hit instead of the paint
so what do they do with the 3 series in canada? both my car and my friend's car would take a $erious hit in a low speed collision.. there isn't much bumper there
