No worse than many of the comments over at Autoblog, which repeat the same tired refrain of either trashing the Mustang, or over-selling ambivalence about it.

Apologies in advance to all those who like the Grabber Blue, but it's just a hideous color on the new car - makes it look incredibly cheap, IMHO.

Oh well, to each their own, I guess.

After seeing Grabber Blue for real, I'm going to have to go back on my previous opinion of the color. I think it's a fantastic color, but I now agree that it needs more black to break things up a bit. It wouldn't take much. Just some hood and side striping. Both of which I believe are available, possibly for that very reason.

Yeah, looks like a big Easter egg to me. Not feeling Grabber Blue at all.

Too bad they got rid of Grabber Orange. That would look sick on this thing.

Cool "2010:Just Not Feeling It Yet"

We just looked at both the 2010 U-Tube video and the "GB" autoblog pictures. Sorry just not feeling it yet Gang! Hope that it somehow grows on me a bit? Back when we saw the very first S197 prototype coupe on display, I totally fell in love!! and had to have one!! This one, not so much. Kind of looks like a dolled up "Future World" version of a Mustang GT. Too fancy-fided and almost a little ricy looking to me, in it's popsicle blue paint and euro-blue stitched interior. Have to wait for the touchy-visual exam on the showroom floor to know! But am still really hoping that the young bloods will love this one! For the sake of Ford and for the great Mustang badge!! We love our own paid for GT/CS even more now! With the very traditional Mustang pony car heritage look. And also because they are now not going to make CS's anymore! CalStang.. P.S. Here comes the flames!

You guys dissing Grabber Blue do realize it's a part of the Mustang's heritage and not some new "ricey" creation, right?

Yeah, I realize it, but it is what it is. Just not a fan of pastel colors.

It looks really ugly at 4:04 of the video.

I'm with you on this. When I saw the 05 Stang I WANTED IT!! To me it truly was- The Legend Lives.
2010 just isn't having the same effect on me. I do think Ford did try to modernize it in order to appeal to a much younger crowd.
