I think those throwback Mustangs and Chargers are all the US gets.

I like the old Z31's shape. I think they hit a good ratio of roundness-to-sharpness with it. And the coefficient of drag is great on them. The newer Z32s despite being more rounded had *higher* drag than the Z31s.

Sadly, I think most auto manufacturers nowadays haven't got the guts to move away from the current design language where everything has to be rounded and feminine. The newest sort of boxes would be the 850 volvos. Only kinda boxy car from newer time I can think of is shit like the vw up and its siblings. (Not counting the japan-only cube cars.) Soon, all cars will be the samefaced blobs of a mad man's horrible nightmare.

Get a Hayne's workshoo manual. There's also tons of resources online for wrenching your Volvo. I have a 940 myself and it's actually pretty easy to work on. Big engine bay and lots of parts to be had. The only annoying thing is when you have to change lightbulbs in the back. If you have normal-sized hands, it's a chore getting to the sockets. Other than that, I actually like working on my Volvo.
