The hood/nose section I'm gonna call the Beluga whale. Good God, this car is need of direction and for it's 50th, how embarrassing for Ford. So many absolutely awesome, bad-a** renderings on this site of what the car could look like, even the red convertible one of this 50th model, and Ford gives us this POS design. They must have designers who got their training from JC Penny, cause what I have seen on this site for over the past year simply, I mean SIMPLY blows Ford's pathetic attempt of a design for the grand 50th anniversary!

Yea, I remember when the 2005/2006's came out and there a picture going around of this blue Mustang with the huge scoop and so many "bad taste" attachments on the car that everybody laughed. Then you see Ford put basically that same lame open scoop in the nose, geez!

Looking back, at least to the 79-93's, Ford has a long history of coordination in the headlights, grilles, bumpers, etc. Looking at the released pics, it seems logical that this front/nose is what we'd see. I'm really warming up to it myself. I can't wait to see it in person. I absolutely love the interior, dash and all. You take the front bumper away and the lower valance of the rear bumper, and you can easily see the historic queues of the Mustang.

Honestly i like how they harken back to the original with the 3 ledʻs in the headlamps. And im sure different trim models will have different front bumpers like the CS and of course the Shelby has at least a solid platform to build on.

Simply tell me when I can order it, and how much. I will write a check on the spot.

I personally am thrilled with the results. Will I mod mine??? Yes I will. Changing a grill, lights, hood and etc to personalize is something I have done with most of my mustangs. This one, more than most looks pretty awesome (to me). BRAV---wait for it, wait for it----OH!

It's not that I hate the design so much in that Ford has a history of creating bland designs and it's up to third party manufactures to fix it. It's like Ford creates a design for some middle aged, married guy who's wife has him neutured and on a short chain. Somebody else always has to step in and fix the car's bland, conservative design to give it some hot sex appeal and some frick'n *****. That's what I take serious issue with. The nameplate demands and screams "bad-a**". Ford has done a great job with the power plants over the years, but they need to cease and assist on these lackluster designs that frequently require third party intervention to give the car design what it needs........some ballsy-ness and attitude to match the powerplant.

Its not, for me, that a third party needs to step in to make the car nicer. Its all about personalization...make it yours, man!!!
Would I like to see Ford allow, by design, more rubber out back...heck yea! My '03 has 315's on the back, and the newer Mustangs can only handle 285's...??? something like that.
I will never buy a factory made hot rod.(Camaro). The most fun I have in life...ok, the second most fun I have in life is hot-rodding my own cars, to BE MY OWN! No one else has to like it, but me.
Personally, I am sorry you dont like it. Will your opinion change mine...sorry, no. Not that you are trying to, not saying that.
Again, tell me when I can order, and I will write a check!
By the way, I am that middle aged married guy on a short leash...sometimes I just gotta tug harder...

Lackluster?
For me, this is the first time a stock Mustang really doesn't need much personalisation. Would I mod mine? Probably, but subtly.
In my opinion, S550 makes S197 look rather chubby and...........old. Don't get me wrong, I still love the S197 and always will, but S550 is chiseled and striking.

The thing that bothers me most is how far the rear bumper extends past the trunk lid. The 10+ got this wrong compared to the 05, and now it's gotten worse. If the bumper was shortened, and the lights/decklid was more vertical I think it would look much better and be more inspired by the heritage they were going after.

I know what you are thinking, the sn95 pulled it off. Well it kind of did. It was ok but not great. The S197 did it so much more justice and the last rendition could have been in the ranks.
Now Ford just bring back a dark green for the mustang. This is getting old.
