The normal mustang is still being produced, for now, they only put the name on the crossover for marketing. The moonhawk is also nothing like a Charger.
it's based off the chevelle which was also a sedan granted it wasn't brought back into the 21st century but still
It looks nothing like a chevelle, to me it looks more like a mix between an oldsmobile and a 2nd gen firebird.
I disagree. The Moonhawk is supposed to be a malaise-era personal luxury coupe. Take a look at some of those, and tell me how many of them a) have been revived as a modern car, and b) deserve to be brought back as a modern car. The reason that the Charger exists is because it came from a good era for cars (the late sixties) and cemented its name as a top-of-the-line muscle car. The Moonhawk, like the GM A-body cars, is meant to be close to being great, but not quite there. No "almost great" car is revived.
look at this pic and this pic definitely some resemblance and also look at a 77' chevelle and the late moonhawk
The moonhawk is very close to the 70s chevelle in every way (except powertrain), and the chevelle was both coupe and sedan. Moonhawk sedan has been rewuested many times, and gabe himself said it was inspired mostly by the chevelle.
The Moonhawk is as alike to the GM Collonade coupes as anyone can get. It's supposed to look like a mashup of different GM cars, because that's what the Collonade cars were. The front grille and headlights not suiting the design of the car is supposed to emulate that same design quirk with the GM Collonade coupes.
It's a midsized 1970's American FR coupe that's somewhere between personal luxury coupe and malaise muscle car. Which means counterparts include the third gen Torino, contemporary GM A-bodies, and contemporary Chrysler B-Bodies. It doesn't have to perfectly follow the lineage of a single car, nor does it have to exclude aspects of any single car. While most of the relevant nameplates have since died out, there are a couple that were recently reincarnated as sedans. In fact I can't think of any that had modern counterparts that weren't sedans... Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, and Chevy Malibu... The Monte Carlo is the closest thing to an exception that I can think of.
From what we’ve heard, it seems the new car would most likely not be a moonhawk. Maybe we take a slight turn and say it could potentially be a modern Barstow?
the barstow i think would probably be discontinued by now, or at least be renamed into something else maybe the gavril barstow was renamed to the gavril grand marshal?
Doesn't make any sense. Especially since there's the Bluebuck for playing the role of the predecessor to the Grand Marshal (or at least one of the predecessors, since the time gap between the final model year of the Bluebuck and the first model year of the Grand Marshal is a long 27 years). The Barstow is a 2-door Pony/Muscle Car and the Bluebuck is a Full-Size 2-door and 4-door Sedan which also had many versions to cover many market niches (basic versions, middle-grade versions, top-of-the-line luxury versions and top-of-the-line sport versions).
