Who were these people? I certainly don't know any of them. Where did you hear that people were "asking" for what "we" got?

The only thing I remember reading was that "some" people wanted the Mustang to look smaller than it is, so Ford stylists had to squash in the corners to make the car visually smaller, even though it retains the same dimensions. So maybe all the visual blunders were caused by a design team desperately trying to make the car look smaller without actually making is smaller.

 

Exactly. I'm with you on this.... people who like it (or pretend to like it) just can't deal with people who are vocal in their dissatisfaction in the design. However, I do think the aftermarket will come to the aid of Mustang fans all over the world and give us a few different options to replace the rear saggy diaper with something much nicer. I'm also hoping for the future 2010 owners that they'll have a taillight AND rear bumper cover package that will replace both items and integrate nicely into the 2010 rear design. So maybe there IS hope...

 

I am not bent over anything at all.
I am fine with the way I feel about the car, you on the other hand feel the need to defend it to the point of insulting me and being oblivous to others views.

You said;
According to you if someone thinks the car is ugly they are an ignorant person that is never satified with anything, likes to ***** about the car for the sake of it huh?
I called you out on your hypocrisy and you try to make me the bad guy.
Nice try, have a nice day.

 

wasnt ford sending stuff in the mail asking what stuff you would like for the next stang. along with mailing, i believe ford used other methods to get suggestion from people on what they wanted for the next stang. thats why you got better interior components cause people asked for it. thats why we got the hip on the rear quarter, cause we asked for. we got the interior and styling for the car cause ford listened to all our suggestion. just cause you didnt take part in it doesnt mean others didnt as well.

 

I hope something is done because I LOVE the interior, the Nav, Synch 2.0, the 5.0, and the front i can live with.
The rear and black plastic on the other hand has to go.

 

your the one insulting me by calling me a *******, like i said i have a freedom of speech just like you do.

 

like zzcoop said, you guys need to chill the hell out. this isnt a life or death situation. calm down.

this is only supposed to be something to talk about, like i said i dont mean to offend

take a chill pill

 

and i didnt say just cause the car is ugly you are ignorant. your being ignorant now being you trying to twist my words. i didnt mean or say you are ignorant cause the rear is ugly to you.

like i said chill out, no need to pop a blood vessell

 

this is a forum, there will be disagreements. deal with it, like im dealing with it.

all this stuff is not meant to be taken seriously, you are taking this way to seriously.

 

So are you claiming to know what people asked for in the next Mustang? How could you possibly know that? The best you can do is guess that Ford's styling changes were a direct result of what the majority of people wanted. To suggest otherwise is ridiculous.

 

i recieved a paper in the mail from ford asking what things i would like to see in the next stang and i put better wheels and a nicer interior.

do you have a problem with that?

why you taking things so serious? geez calm down

 

Why would I have a problem with that? Of course I don't have a problem with that. And more importantly, why would you think I need to calm down? I'm quite calm, actually. I'm just responding to your claim that you know what people asked for in the new Mustang. How could you possibly know what everyone wanted? Weird...

 

Burningman nailed the rear-end, a wide thin look is what this car needs. Not Round and Narrow, which is what we got.

 

it was talked about on this forum and others what we wanted ford to do for the next stand. for example better interior. it has been talked about, i dont claim to know what every wants. i just know what was talked about on this forum and others.

 

Wow, this is so ugly I can't stand it!





Look at those hips, those tribar lights, the way the back end is stretched around the wheels, the concave 67-style trunk .

There are plenty of people here who LOVE the new rear end design, and if you check most of the automotive media, they criticize the front end more as not being different enough. To me the 2010 rear end makes the 2005-09 look very plain and old-fashioned.

The designers did a spectacular job of making the car look wider from the back, less long from the side, and adding more shape and sculpture to the back end while working with the same structural architecture underneath ( bumper beams, sheetmetal inner stampings, etc.) I am sure they would have loved to do a full fastback with a different greenhouse and trunk size, but this is a re-skin, not a clean sheet of paper new car. The 2010 looks new and modern but still a Mustang. And the tri bar lights that fire sequentially, do you think that just happened? There was some real thought and effort that went into this.

The 65-66 was more geometric, the 67-69 more sculptural and angular. Same with 2005-09 and 2010. You won't convince diehard 65-66s that a 67 is better or the other way around. That doesn't make either one ugly. You have your preference, that's fine. But for me, the new rear is the best part of the 2010 exterior design.

I think continuous posting about how much you dislike the '10 in the 2010 forum while there is a 2005-09 forum is a much better definition of dumba$$.

If you really don't like the 2010, how about stop posting in the 2010 forum?

 

I think it needs to be talked about and a specific thread imo is appropriate for such a dramatic change. I always thought the 05-09 would be a rough act to follow.

I haven't seen it in person but will.

I think if had not gone from a diffuser to an extruder it wouldn't be such an issue.

I'm not much of a complainer but it does have a similar effect on me.


+!

I'm with JRT

I wish FORD the best of luck with this car. I am on my 4th S197 and considered selling because of the economy (in construction). Now I want more than ever to try to keep my car. I may not be able to but I will try harder!

 

thanks gnat-sum

 

listen, like i said. i dont mean to offend anyone and if i did im sorry. we are just purely talking here, nothing more.

 

Why are you apologizing? You're not the one resorting to personal insults because someone disagrees with you.

 

just trying to keep the peace i guess
