STOP!!
If there is one thing our cars have, that is Character. With a capital "C".
There are many deTomaso marque quirks that only are learned through years of exposure.
I have always held the very early nameplate Panterd version to be one of those unique little quirks.
Always a good opener topic, and one that can be quickly turned around to explain how our cars are now the epitome of a dependable, exotic super car for the less than super finances owner.
They say you can't polish a turd.
But, IMHO, you can polish a Panterd emblem and wear it proudly.
