(Yes, I sold my Pantera a while back, but still love 'em enough to enjoy this list) Given this wild new purple carbon fiber beast that is following the P72, I find myself more than a little interested in what you all think about what the deTomaso name is turning into. I look at these new cars & well, I just don't get it.  Seems to me like deep pockets looking to toy around with exotic car-making just needed a cool name to slap on them.  My take here may be off, but wasn't DeTomaso a company that made cars for people like us and not for Arabian oil sheiks and their sons? Seems to me by now we should be seeing a new Pantera rocking by now, maybe priced to compete with track-ready factory versions of Corvette or Challenger.There is a lot to draw upon when moving forward with ownership of the DeTomaso name. 
Aside from the P72 dog tag hung around the neck of car #1, I can see nothing here showing anything of what I know to be DeTomaso. A fun little mountain road flying 2-seater like MX3/Miata or BMW Z4, maybe based on the P70, wouldn't that be cool as hell.  This "boutique"
stuff they are making just smacks to me of bored ultra-rich people throwing money around amongst themselves for fun.  Which is of course
fine, but......   is it DeTomaso?
