Post Front end: GT versus V6

Great to see that the styling of the GT and V6 models is different. However, what surprised me is I really prefer the V6. It's sort of a toned down GT500 and even has similarities to the '05 concept car. It's an agressive, clean look....for once I prefer the look without the fogs. The HIDs on this V6 are cool, too.

So, personally, I want a V6 front end on a GT....or is that a V8 in a V6? . What about the rest of you?

They're both great, but I gotta go with the GT.

GT, though they're both hideous imo. I never was a fan of the '05 concept when it came to looks.

I like the GT. It looks aggressive.

Also remiinds me of the aggressive trapezoid grill on the Evo X.. also a mean/angry looking car.

i do like both but i think the v6 needed more attention as it is where ford will make the largest sales.

and i think the v6 looks more like the concept than the gt500 did. the gt looks aggresive and all along i have supported the black accents, now tiht the full car being shown i think it ties the car together nicely. oh, and the painted grill area on the v6 as opposed to the black out, black wins everytime.

I like them both. But the V6 gets the not for its similarities to the current GT500 font end.

The new squished Gt front end seems to make the fogs look too big and out of place. I think the V6 without the fogs looks better. I'd like to see the GT without the fogs.

The red concept just looks gross to me. I was kinda disapointed until I saw the actual '05 and it was love at first sight. The '10, not so much. And yes I am crazy, just ask anyone on here.

I think I like the V6 a little better. If the GT had the vertical bars body colored, that might look a little better. Looks like the headlight buckets are completely different between the two also. the V6 has parking lights/turn signals outside the headlights, while the GT has the lights on the inside. First time I've seen that difference. I'd like to see the GT with it's lights on too, like the V6 has.

I was originally disappointed with the '05 because I preferred the front end style of the concept. Less upright; more rounded.

Now the '10 V6 is closer to the original concept, but for some reason I just prefer the '10 GT front end.

Weird...

Problem with the pics up top is the V6 has the upgraded headlights (giving it that kind of cross-eyed look) while the GT has the base headlights. Take the headlights out of the equation and the V6 front end just looks better.

Make the inboard vertical pieces body colored and the GT will look a heck of a lot better.

Considering the Design of the 05's were Locked In when these Concepts came out, this is Really the First Concept for the 2010, and It Shows!

I voted for the V6 front, but now I'm not so sure, the gt front is growing on me. I dont like the black peices on the lower corners of the gt, and I'm not a fan of the squished fogs.

I like them both, but I think I like the V6 front end a little better. Looks a little more refined, a little less busy, just cleaner overall. Who knows I might find myself finally owning a V6 Mustang in 2011 or 2012 if the reported new engine and hp bump comes about (all four of my Mustangs to dave have been V8)
