Yeah, their comparison to a late model Camaro or Mustang made me think they don't buy the XV "Building modern Supercars from classic Muscle Cars" tag line.

My guess is because the product is not only American, but old American and they didn't think it was worth getting a hotshoe to drive...

Nevermind the comparison to a 37 yr old T/A. Albiet a sub 30K mi T/A, but the suspension bushings are about as firm as a Notell Motel mattress and the engine is likely tired (sunk exhaust valve seats) from burning unleaded gas for most of its life. The carb probably needs a rebuild and some tuning as well as the distributor.

Car and Driver is the New York Times of automotive journalism...

I wouldn't mind seeing Bill doing a write up on the evolution of his products as well...
