Oh the scoops will be soon to follow in the aftermarket. You can't have a new Mustang without half a dozen scoops already in R & D.

 

hopfully they dont look stupid tho

 

I'm sure some of them will. Somewhere out there, somebody is thinking of putting an iron board wing on the 2010 and thinking it would look awesome. They're out there...somewhere...just waiting to f this car up.

 

god dont put that in my head i would have two to that guy

 

Case in point. Somewhere someone thinks this looks cool.

Talk about your fake scoops...aye dios mio!

 

Madre Dios! Esta Diablo!

 

 

Wow! Now that is cool!

 

I can't believe I am typing this......

but I think the original 'combat' mode looked better than this.

So much for revamping the show to take things seriously compared to the pilot movie
WTF

 

regardless of what anybody says, im liking it so far, i just REALLLLLLLY wanna see it without camo and take it for a drive of course

 

Why 2k? Just when I had stopped having nightmares!

Actually I think the only fake scoops that might look good are the ones from the '69 mustangs that were located on the hips..

 

Wow! I did post #2 on this one and just now came back to see where we are at on the picture opinions. Holy Fire Storm Batman!!
I really almost like all the rear area, including the new tail light arrangements. That being said. The only piece that seems to be a bit of over kill in MHO, is that big dark, ugly lower valance area? And what's going on with those rear quarter windows? Also got to agree that 2010 coupes do look rather smooth and also very clean with no scoops or any rear spoiler shown! CalStang

 

you just had to do it didnt you lol xD

 

Hey RC, in several shots, I have noticed that the rear quarter windows are smaller due to Ford tapling over them with the camoflauge wrap/paint. They will be normal size (have to be for safety). As for the lower valance. On the GT its okay, but on the Shelby we've seen, its overdone, as it goes into the license plate area way too much compared to the GT, and the stripes stop half way in that area. On the GT500 we've seen, IMO, it just doesn't "flow" well. Hopefully it will be changed by reveal.

 

im argeeing with you jeff it looks kinda bad

 

All I know is that when I saw the first first pictures of the 1999 stang with zero camo and normal paint in one of the mags I though "well now they gone and done it. They kill a good think. They ruined the mustang again." BUT, Once I saw one in person the relevance of scale in the real world change the perspective completly. I had to go back, Look at the pic in the mag agian to be sure it was the same car. IT WAS. Now I own a 2002 a LOVE the design to the point that I think it is far superior to the 93 - 98 s.
Point

 

( miss key , sorry)

Point is I "HATED" the 99 when I saw photos but fell in love when I saw the real car. There are things about the 2010 I have not liked from what I have seen but I can say that the fron profile from the Official sight looks a million times better thatn anythinf I have seen so far. Also as far as we know Ford could be sitting on facia and tail lights that where designed over a year ago and we have been seeing the rejects all this time.

 

the gt looks good im just not likeing the gt500

 

don't know if I like the new headlights...hmm

 

I come to the defense of watchdevil, with whom I find myself more in agreement than I do with any other opinions about the 2010 Mustang's styling.

The trouble appears to be that the midlife update was a mission: make the new Mustang look smaller than its predecessor to emphasize just what bloated whales the new Camaro and especially the new Challenger really are. This stylistic mission forced the "beveling" of the four corners of the bodywork to create what the stylists hope will subliminally register as a leaner, tighter, more compact vehicle than it actually is when the tape measure is pulled out and stretched over the bodywork.

This was unfortunate, since the Mustang really IS smaller than the Camaro and the new two-door Charger--uh, I mean new Challenger. This "beveling"--or whatever professional stylists may call it--forced the stylists to sacrifice grace & cohesiveness to give an impression of "smallishness". Frankly, guys, watchdevil may have said it a little too bluntly for some, but the stylists appear to me to have blown it.

The admittedly rather plain taillights of the S197 no longer "fit" into the newer beveled rear-end, so someone then had to shave off some taillight to fit the new liposuctioned fanny. The headlights had to be shifted backwards to "fit" in the beveled front fenders, and the resulting additional horizontal distance added to the headlight cavity recess created such a spatial "gap" that some--ahem--"designer" or--ahem--"stylist"--decided that he or she needed to do something to camouflage that recess. The solution we've been shown is a set of the tackiest front turnsignals ever found on a Mustang--I challenge anyone to post a pic of a Mustang of any year that had front turnsignals that look worse! It's gotta be a Ford-built Mustang, not some aftermarket abomination...

We really didn't need a GT500 grille in the new Mustang--the Shelby has been there, done that...

The concave curve of the rear panel coulda been nice, but it should have rested between taillights with matching concave curves instead of shaved flat-faced rectangles--did the "designer" who designed the taillights never speak even once to the designer who designed the concave rear panel???

Somebody needs to have the ***** to take a Sawzall to that gawdy rear faux gas cap--those who try to dignify that faux gas cap by calling it a "badge" need to have that same Sawzall applied liberally to their manhood...

But the rear fender kick-up is splendid, and there is still hope that a full "C" scoop now resides where "oblique Ls" reside currently!

The side mirrors are a microscopic improvement when it would have been sooooo easy to have done it right with full, smooth teardrops from past Mustangs, Torinos, and Cyclones.

The new interior appears to be enhanced and improved and of better quality--good work, Ford! Certainly, ambient lighting introduced last year is a vast improvement over the swishy "MyColor"! Playing with the lighting colors of your dash panel is sorta, ummmm, Twinkletoes...

Now, this was said without rancor or without attempting to imply that I'm not just another ordinary ***** with an opinion. But I got eyes, and I ain't seein' much that brings on the rise of an S197, or a cheerleader bending over a bleacher railing, y'know? Nevertheless, I won't pass final judgement until we see the sheetmetal. A quadcam 5.0 with a Tremec 6060 can fix most of these mistakes in a matter of minutes...

It's sorta like the 1970 Mustangs: Ford got rid of the silly top-of-the-rear-fender fake scoops that marred the beauteous 1969 Mustangs, but then screwed the pooch with fake scoops just outboard of the headlights. Go figure??? I'm sure someone drew a decent salary to commit such a crime against nature, so don't try to kid me or watchdevil that if the work is done by a professional working really hard that the result of his or her effort has to be good! Watchdevil merely pointed out that the king has no clothes...
