By the way, you forgot to put a period at the end of your second sentence.
Didn't forget... just didn't do it

See? There I go again.

You know... if the black plastic at the bottom of the bumper was flush and did not stick out further, it would be fine. The black plastic sticking out as the trailing edge is what looks screwy.

This is the problem as many cars have this and you barely know its there. They could have made it flow better and it be less dramatic.

My coworker looked over my shoulder at a picture I was viewing of the 2010 Stang and he asked me if it was the new Nissan Altima. I said, "no, it's the 2010 Mustang!" and he told me it looked like a Japanese car from the back.

LOL, I Wish! I Just Love the Car, I Love Cars in General. I wanted to be a designer when I was younger, Especially to Design for Ford, as I thought they had the Best Design Department in America at that time, so I guess I just argue points I would argue defending the design as if it were mine. I see where the designers were going, and what they were thinking in the design and details of the 2010. I guess I look at it differently for that reason.

In general I think Car Design has become Boring and Plain in the last few years. I'm tired of seeing this Retro Craze. It shows we are becoming Stagnate, and Complacent. Tending to be Nostalgic for things of the Past instead of Hungry for Something New and Exciting. Part of being a designer is that you have to get into the heads and mindset of the consumer. You have to Really Understand them and try to envision what they want 5 or 10 years from now.

Good Design Stirs Up Controversy, I tend to find that many cars I Initially Hate, I end up Tending to Like. But there are those few that as soon as I see Them I know they Got Just Right, at least in My Mind. Believe Me I've been running Designs through My head for the replacement of the 2010 already, so it too will be Old News to me Quickly.
As soon as I get them down on Paper I will Post them, but for now I'm Really Excited About The Future for a Change!

And that is Simply Because Those Same Cellica's were Blatant Rip Off of the 69/70 Mustangs. So They Look Like MUSTANGS!

Change in this case is just that, change. But not for the better.Those tucked in sides of the rear bumper look as if it sucked on a lemon. I can get passed all that black trim, but those awkward lights and bumper, just a BAD design and one which will not age gracefully.

The '05-'09 has proven a tough act to follow as was the '65-66 which had a clean and pure design. The '67 was nice but as Lee Iacocca once said after seeing the 1967, " it turned into a fat pig."
Don't flame, I liked the '67, but not as much as the '65-'66.

+1. That's exactly the point for me, too. It's not (IMO, folks - don't respond with the flamethrowers, please) that the styling is so horrendous per se, but that the "diffuser" protrudes so much that it detracts from the overall styling of the rear. A better-blended piece, I think, would look a lot better - and would have generated a lot less heated debate.

What's With The Initial Caps? It Makes Your Posts Really Hard To Read. The Smaller Font Is Better, But You've Got To Lose The Capital Letters! It's even hard to type like that . . .

I'm sure you worked on that for at least an hour. The ironic thing here is that it was not my inability that prevented me from including a period at the end of the sentence; it was simply my choice. Thanks for playing! Go get yourself a cookie and a glass of warm milk.

Forgot to mention that I've never made fun of someone for poor grammar. I just complained a few times when some of the members here have had difficulty with their reading comprehension, remember?

Now that I think about it, you might have a problem in that area yourself, judging by your statement.
