I think it does remind of a rambler but I think that's a good thing.
So many old timers see a rambler as a negative, but maybe for my age group....i want a rambler!!! So any car that captures that essence of a rambler or AMC is a mega good thing and should be taken as a. positive.
I think your proposed paint scheme does look like an AMC American So that's bad *** and I'd go with it.
Its no different than people taking Fiat as a negative. Fiat is bringing back performance and giving the people what the people want So how is that bad. I think what fiat is doing should be seen as a company catering to what customers want. They knew people want power and not **** box French cars so they are delivering and then some.
