Me too. It's too bland for me. Seems to blend with everything around it.

Cool

That looks sharp. REAL sharp

I love the way the lighting highlights the hips in the rear 3/4 photo, too.

Not diggin' it. The wheels look terrible. The whole front end looks terrible. The hood stripes look bad and ill-placed. The side stripes remind me of the V6 stripes (except that they fade). But, to end on a good note, I really like the new taillights and rear fascia.

YAY!

We finally get to see the front LED's on, they look better than I ever would have thought! Tail lights look great too!

Thanks for posting!

What do you not like about the front end?

That car looks good but not enough for me to want to ditch the 11 CS I currently drive.

I prefer a bit more difference in the front ends....now they are all close in appearance, I have yet to develop a liking for the tail lights, the stripe down low gets away from the heritage of the original CS in 68.....but this is just mu opinion. One day that may change.....lol

Agree. If there's 3 of us, are we still a minority??? lol.

Yes to me, the GT fogs are a must. A lot of folks hate em, I love em. Nothing like seeing 4 sets of lights coming at you at night. Get out the way!!!!

Too bulbous, too busy, too many horizontal lines, etc. The new GT, Boss 302, and GT/CS front end just looks like it sticks out too far and doesn't have the graceful, sleek lines of the '10 through '12 model. The bottom corners look like part of a bad aftermarket body kit (looks like they added the horizontal lines to mimic the cheesy headlight splitters that few people like).

I didn't like the GT front end on the '05 through '09 either, and I swapped in the V6 Pony Pkg grill into my '07 GT to "fix" it. The '10 through '12 front end is absolutely perfect, with the '13 getting a better looking tail.

5 - wheels are a huge fail IMO, don't like the painted side skirts, front is not up to par with the 10-12s but the rear does look good!

I could have bold/red the entire quote above, but this is EXACTLY how I feel. Sometimes I feel it's just because I OWN a 12.... but imo, if I had NO stang right now, and I was in the market for a 12 or a 13, I'd still pick the 12 if it were based on looks alone. The front end is PERFECT, for a GT, imo. Call me a minority.... don't care. That's how I feel.

Too each their own,

I love the 12s. I was a signature away from ordering a 12 SG GT Premium with 3.73, Brembos, and Glass Roof last July. They just didnt wanna give me enough for my trade. Took about 2 months to sell my ride and by that time there was word of a refreshed 13 so I decided to wait. And I'm glad I did. The 12 has many nice exclusive features like that power dome hood (granted you don't ruin it with that godawful hood scoop) and those edgy lines. The diaper and black plastic bottom never really bothered me either and those lights were never an issue. But the 13 GT(not including the CS) without a doubt, from front to back, suits my particular style better. Thats what it all comes down to... Personal preference.

Thanks man, I appreciate it. Whenever people ask me if i looked into getting a Z instead, I tell them about the group of guys in here who made the switch to the 5.0 and haven't looked back. I throw your name out there too haha. Gotta love it.
