 Beginnings of a Wiki, feel free to improve

Pony car is an American class of automobile launched and inspired by the Ford Mustang in 1964.

The term describes an affordable, compact, highly styled car with a sporty or performance-oriented image.

The purist would further define a Pony Car as a sporty compact car with a long hood and short deck. The original target were drivers under 30 years old. Mopar's true pony cars were the Plymouth Barracuda and Dodge Challenger.

Brand X pony cars include the Ford Mustang, Mercury Cougar, Chevrolet Camaro, Pontiac Firebird, and the AMC Javelin.
