I aggree with Speed Demon. wtf ford? That concept looks SO good. I will say I like that first stang in the motor trend scans, it does look good. But look at the pic on the last page, that thing is FUGLY. Looks NOTHING like a sports car, looks like a regular car that just "fits in" with all other $15k-$19k cars. It's a shame, that concept looks SO good. The production? Well you have to get the highest trim model with the grill-mounted fogs to even look cool. Otherwise, I'd feel like a retard driving that car at the bottom of the last page

The Mustang was never meant to be and never really has been, a sports car. It was intended to be a fun, sporty car that a family could own. Back in 64 they didn't build the Mustang to compete with the Vette, other than offering an option for a fun car with more than 2 seats. that being said, i kind of like the new design. The quarter windows would take some getting used to, but the grille mounted fogs are hot, and with a bit of aftermarket love a GT could look seriously mean I think. Not that I plan on buying one though.

Exactly.
The interior is very retro, and I like the design of the body. It was known that the roofline would change, and the bumpers were altered to pass gov't requirements. The added headlights are a surprise, as is the change in the rear, but, it's still pretty sweet. I cannot wait to see the Cobra.

I haven't liked any Mustang in years. They are all just damm ugly, though I have to say, more attractive than those baroque atrocities that GM killed recently.
Finally, finally, finally, with a clean slate, Ford may have managed to give rebirth to the legend. Let's hope GM answers in kind. Life's no fun without the pony wars.

Yeah, but they call this a GT, too:

in this instance it stands for "Ghastly Turbo", not "Grand Tourer."
