Just a bunch of F-body lovers.

I like their very in-depth and insightful comments.

LOL well what can you expect after loosing the beloved V8 Geo storm and getting a new Cobalt to replace it. They're just a LITTLE bitter.

Actually, I've seen that people who just aren't into cars don't like it, they don't like the Chrysler 300's or anything resembling "retro".....Meh, to each his own...more Stangs for us

Actually a fair number seemed pretty positive about it. That said, most hated the interior (this from f-body drivers) go figure.

It's funny that every publication--automotive or otherwise--can't stop praising the styling of the 2005 Mustang, especially after the disaster the GTO has been with it's non-retro styling. The only people that don't like it are these idiot Camaro fans, who bought a car that GM must think won't sell as well as these:

Can't make everybody happy, but regardless, I'd say the majority of Mustang fans, at least the ones I've encountered myself included either like or love the new styling.

Don't worry. As soon as they improve their IQ level their taste will come along.

If F-body fans were the majority or in the right, the camaro and firebird would still be in production.

Don't hate on the cobalt. I find it cute. I also realize I am WAY too old to drive it without being embarassed.

Speaking of Geo Storms- back in my day, teen girls would have killed for a nice green one(not me).

We all know what the F in F-body means . We all know that if the new Stang God Forbid was the new Camaro or Firebird they would be all over it like a fat kid on cake

I actually agree with the first few posts about the foglights in the grille, the bland dash, the small tires, and less than inspiring available wheels. I think there could have been improvements in these areas, but no car is perfect and I'm still looking forward to the one I have on the way. At least the wheel/tire issue will eventually have countless aftermarket options.

I don't think think anbody on either forum will disagree that the new Mustang should be light years ahead of the quality in the previous F-fbodies and SN95's.

There maybe even some studenvy in some of the posts.

I've noticed a lot of people like the mustang who are not mustang owners or big fans of it. I myself am not a camaro or mustang fan (except for the 60s era) but I do have to say that the last generation of F-bodies was kind of meh, the body style on the pre-05 mustang was looking better than the 90's, but the 05 just captured me. This coming from a guy who has never owned a mustang but just loved the old iron. For me the new Vettes and Mustangs rock. All my friends who own muscle cars as toys, really like the 05. Just my 2 cents.
