What do you guys think of the new'02 Thunderbird?

I like it. I have a soft spot for the early t-birds and this one definitely has that appeal.
However, it's unfortunate that, according to reports, the ride is actually softer than that of an LS. I also haven't seen one of these in person yet. But I think it looks great in the pics I've seen. Not that I'd wanna buy one -- I just like the looks in an emotional kinda way.

Actually it looks nothing like a '60 T-bird.
You probably weren't intending a literal reference to the 1960 model anyway...but you can see, there's no resemblance.

Looked good in person, saw a black one up close in Chicago the other weekend.
Much smaller in person than the pictures suggest. Reminiscent more of an Alfa convertible than the original T-bird IMHO. Of course I'm only 26, so take it for what its worth.

Actually it has as much or more in common with a '54 Vette as it does the '55-'57 t-bird.
I'm talking about overall front-end styling cues. The rear is totally different.
