OK you have got to be kidding.
You can find someone that will say anything. Do you remember O.J. the man that didn't cut his wifes head off?
I have to say that is some pretty shallow research. Go back to the 30's and look at the Auburns that had what was refered to as a boat tail design.
Does't the boat tail kinda explain why our hood (or bonnet) has the grooves that look like a 30's-40's boat fore deck? Have you guys done any reading on or by the designers of this car? It's all there just look in places that don't only state opinions. It's called the world wide web. Just like a giant library

You know the Pinto had four rubber tires, and so does... NOT A PINTO CROSSFIRE CONNECTION!
