Considering the V6 is only available in the top trim level, I wouldn't call it a muscle car. I would go with some type of GT car. Leather, climate control, power everything. I lean more to the import side, I've owned mainly Honda's for past 28 years. Ricer is a little derogatory in my opinion. Don't really like tuner either. To get horsepower from most of today's cars takes a "tune". I still somewhat consider muscle car as any RWD/AWD " traditional big 3 sedan/coupe with good power. As was stated earlier, most any performance oriented car/truck/SUV will run rings around old school muscle cars. Doesn't mean I wouldn't LOVE too have one
