front end V6 vs GT

checkout these 2 pics.
first pic: inset headlights, front brake duct vents (fake - but the after market will make functional or allow for a compact fog light installation here) , agressively shaped lower grill area, more muscular, larger opening main grill, front end very similar to the GT500...of course i'm describing the GT, right? No, that's the V6 version!

Whoa, I don't get it. The GT looks more refined and low key, kind of feline. In my opinion, even the wheels shown on these pics make the V6 have the trans-am race look and the GT is the 'touring car'. Strange but I say there may be lots of 2010 mustang customers swapping out GT parts and buying the V6 front ends. ironic, heh?

The inset headlights (which I dislike BTW) have nothing to do with model. They're the HIDs. The V6 will only have them with the HID option, and the GT will have them as well with the HID option.

I'll never understand how a smiley face is aggressive, I agree it looks good but it doesn't say "aggression" to me.

I prefer the GT. If you prefer the V6, fine. Stop whining and buy a 6 or buy a 6 clip from KC.

Yeah, we just need someone to photoshop a tongue hanging out of its smiling "mouth."

Thanks for the heads up on the HID - I like 'em. I'll be waiting on the 2011/12 for the 5.0L engine and the V-6 front pieces too. The smile is usually on my face when I'm driving my current CS 'vert or when i'm looking at a happy GT500 smiling back at me.

I'm not a huge fan of the blackout front end on the GT either. Keep the GT fascia as-is but give me body color instead...

This picture from Popular Mechanics confirms that in my opinion the V6 front end looks better than the GT.

I like the GT better without the foglights.

I like them both. It's actually a little stupid to compare them with each other, since they serve different purposes.

That said, I think the GT looks like it wants to kick your *** while the V6 looks like it just wants a hug.

I think the V6 is better looking mostly because it doesn't have the black grille surround and I prefer the fogs in the bumper. Just my .02

Why is it a penny for your thoughts, but you have to put two cents in?

Somebody's makin' a penny.

I love them both! I also really like the look of the current V6 front end. Nice thing about the 2010 is that the front tag indentation is now gone.

I agree, and those mutton chops look horrible IMHO.

See right under the running pony? The tag indentation. The 2010 V6 doesn't have that. Looks much better.

Great Catch! I hadn't even noticed that. Much nicer! I HATE Front Tags. I know in most states thy're a requirement, I just Thank God they aren't here in Florida.

Before I get mine, I need to figure out a way to keep the front tag off the bumper.
