Imagine if you could have a real, old-style Mustange with modern mechanicals and dynamics? I think that would be killer (the new is still too diluted to be "retro").
Long story short - the shape is desirable to some 5 yr old who will want to buy the same shape when he's 35.

As a young child, my dad had the 911 which is now mine. "Porsche" was my third word; coming after "daddy" and "mommy." There are videos of me at Christmas when I was 2-4 and, when my parents would hand me presents and ask me what I thought it would be, my answer was consistently "Por-shah! Por-shah!"
The 911 is the greatest car design in automotive history.
