Those 18's complement the lines of the 05 so well. Every time I see them I get mad at Ford for teasing us. Nice pics though, for some reason in that set the stang looks a lot better than the comparison pic of the 05 and cobra r floating around.

I feel that the 05 has the wrong rim/tire package on it. The 18's and 255's do the car much more justice.
Now, put this 05 next to even an 03 Cobra and lets see what people think. I for one would choose the 05. Too bad you can't put the power of the Cobra in the 05 though.

My only complaint is the front end. I still think ford could have done a better job and put some more angles into the design. I love the SN 95 front end. It has a much sleeker look to it. The black inserts also kill the look of the 05 lower grill. It's too bad ford didn't keep the body colored veins like in the pics. Although, IMO the GT-R front end looks great. Hopefully the aftermarket will have a lot of options.

Personally i love the front end. I think it looks a lot better than the current stang, but then again i really like the old muscle cars instead on aerodynamics 
. I really would like s hood scoop though, can't wait to see what kind Roush will put in!

I mean look at the front, plain, blah, nothing is dynamice/awsome.........and with those huge fog lights it looks almost ready for off road duty. The rear is again simple/uninspiring sheet metal with two lights stuck on..........................take a peak at the g35 coupe or rx8, they both are drop dead gorgeous with great design lines and features throughout. A starter g35 is admitedly about $31K actual transaction price, but you get tons more features eg all speed stability control, traction control, highly sophisticated front and rear aluminum IDS, brake force adjusters, side and head air bags/curtains, tilt/telescoping wheel in 05, steering wheel radio controls, high intensity headlights w self adjusters, heated seats hi/lo, electric dr and pass seats, diverse antenae, and I could go on for another 15 minutes wtih all the STANDARD stuff, all this for about $3K more than a well equipped GT. Plus, can get a SR and FX radio for $1100 and $300 more respectively.
I think the marketplace wll speak loudly after the initial mad rush, as it has with the T Bird, new minivan, etc................the latest failures of FMC. I TRIED to like the 05, especially after being smitten my the gorgeous concept car, but the 'real deal' is homely/plain. To compare how superior the 05 is engineering/ergonomicly wise is also a stetch..................the current platform is older than most of the people on this website!!

They are, after all, just kindling for the fire. :flame2: I for one will simply click my heels three times and hope it goes away, never to return...

So go buy one of those "sleek" (sissyfied) yuppie-mobiles, then, and quit wasting your time in a forum dedicated to the car that you think is a failure. Unlike you, we have berries to go along with our branch.
The Mustang has traction control. The Mustang has side airbags. The Mustang does NOT need heated seats, HID's, nor electronic passenger seats. A fully loaded Mustang GT is, as YOU stated, still $3k less than a starter G35. And it STILL has more HP, torque, and overall jaw-dropping design.
There's nothing wrong with having an opinion, but don't be ignorant while voicing it. :notnice:
