Wow. I had some reservations but overall I'm loving this refresh. I don't hate the GT500ish front fascia and I absolutely love the new rear. Without a doubt the Mustang now has the best derriere of the Big Three Pony cars. It's obvious to me Ford is trying to evoke the 1970 Mustang with this refresh with the recessed tails and the outer "hash marks" on the headlights (still wish they didn't look crosseyed but whatever...) representing the faux outboard intakes that the '70 Mustangs had. The '70 style stripes on the Boss seems to reinforce this idea. Well done, Ford...

Looks like a quite aggressive upper and lower grille change to me... More like a jet engine intake that will suck in birds and puree' them!

I like that Recaro seats are offered on the GT now in cloth or leather.

It makes me wonder if they might be using the new S-197 T-56 Magnum in the GT-500

Something will have to change with those openings in the upper and lower grill. If the roads in the rest of the country are anything like they are here, there will be a lot of radiators, heat exchangers, and condensers with rocks slung through them.

FWIW I'd like to point out Doug's revised rear end drawn after the 2010 debut.

I think a can of nightshades over the white parts on the taillights would make it absolutely perfect.

I remember when some smartazz know-it-all on here said changing the shape of the bottom of the taillamp and the yield for it in the bumper cover would have required re-engineering the entire back of the car... I knew he was FOS!

Doncha know that is just a plastic grille with radiator and cooler fins molded in? J/K LOL! Just imagine the cussing as a result of everyone trying to clean it!


Don't forget all the wildlife that will cause damage... They are just throwing a bone to aftermarket parts manufacturers... Either that or to Lowe's for screen door mesh...
