That Roush Mustang looks like something you'd do to a 10 year old Civic. :notnice:

What's with all the hating?! The Roush package is the EXACT same style for the 2005 as it is for the 2004, just a different generation of car...

What's everyone around here want? Seems no one has better ideas because they really don't know themselves. This is fine for an introductory Roush and it looks WAY different (in a subtle way) from the standard 2005. Sheesh!

ADD ON -- If you hate the Roush, you should hate the Ford Mustang design overall, as Roush is SIMPLY adding to it.
No, the styling of the 2004 and 2005 models are different. The 04 is a modern looking car. The 05 is a retro theme. Slapping last year's kit on a new style shows lack of ingenuity and laziness on the part of Roush to have an original idea.

What do people want? Pull your head out of the sand and visit the Photoshop section! Countless iterations have been done there along with the comments of what people like and don't like.

Roush's design looks like the cheap tacky add-on that it is, and not integrated into the lines of the car.

You are entitled to your opnions as I am entitled to mine, but it is clear from the pages upon pages written here as well as other sites, that Roush has failed miserably. The consumers will speak with the almighty dollar, as they have with the GTO. :notnice:

I am still disappointed that it seems as if that car was done in paint or something like that.

It is not even close to something that burningman or chaz could produce

This styling job does not compliment the clean lines of the mustang at all

I was looking forward to Roush's edition, since I'm planning to wait for an SE or Cobra anyway. I won't jump off the wagon just yet - but I do NOT like the design shown in the 'chops. Hopefully it's either a sick joke or JR is listening and dogs the designers before the real deal is released to moans and groans...

Roush design since 99 has been nothing but Rice. Why would anything esle but this be expected from them. The guy earlier was right in that this car is almost a replica of the horrid body kits they have been producing.The 05 could have been done much more tastefully and will be done better by Ford. Look at the mach 1's other than the wheels those cars are beautiful. All that this car really needed in my opinion was a chin spoiler and a ducktail. Instead they butchered up a 99+ body kit and put it on with some pop rivets.

I love Roush's 1999-2004 designs, especially on the Stage 3 and Classic models. They have been very conservative compared to what Saleen does.

How does that look anything at all like a 99-04?

Seriously, I can't figure it out. I see basically no resemblance at all. Period. :scratch:

The picture is crap. They'll need to get some thing better up. Right now I hate Roush. The 2005 Mustang is a beautiful thing and Roush $%&#ed it up. Sad sad sad
I think the 350Z is a beautiful thing and not the 2005 Mustang, it's just retro and copied from past cues, not that that's a bad thing or anything...? [/b][/quote]

Out of your four posts, three of them have been in ALL CAPS, and in this one you misspelled Roush. Please turn off your caps lock, and understand that you are BY FAR in the minority if you like this new Roush. Even both main Roush enthusiast sites are decidedly against this new design.

yeah this is a bit annoying but I guess he doesn't know that writing all uppercase on the internet is considered the same as shouting in reallife

Can someone post a pic of a 99+ and the 05 chop up together? I am kinda computer illiterate or I would. So what we can look at the comparison of the 05 and the pre 05 Roush kits?
