Good video. Thanks. Good to see a guy who seems like a longtime Mustang lover at the helm.

Ford hired the right man for the job. Interesting to note about the bean counter battle with the tail lights.

Was it his idea to cut a giant hole in the bumper cover and blackout plate? He should have been denied on those choices.

IMHO the '13 mustang is the gaudiest mustang to come from the factory. Maybe overstyled? As it kept 'needing' to be refreshed, for it will still go down as an S197.

I'm amped to see what 2014 will bring tho. Lots of good tech out there.

I'd like to give that guy a kick in the nuts and suggest that they promote the accountants to design the 2015. They could not possibly do worse.

I disagree. Nothing was fuglier & drew more screams and negative feedback than that dang 10-12 drag butt diaper.

That's what I love about you guys - you have a great memory. Its just short.

The Chief Engineer is responsible for the ENGINEERING of parts to get the car to production.

Ford designers are responsible for the style.

Neither Dave or his predecessors did the design work to produce the styling.
