One thing I noted about the current Mustangs is the completely inadequate front bumper beam behind the front fascia. The bumper beam does not extend all the way across under the headlamps where the turn signal lights are located. I suspect one reason the turn lamps were moved could be to fill this area with a wider front impact beam to minimize front end damage. A minor impact on the front corners will certainly distroy a headlight and front fender easily.
watchdevil: Your so-called "...completely inadequate front bumper beam behind the front fascia" somehow rates five stars for frontal impact resistance and five stars for offset frontal impact resistance.

Should we believe the results from NHTSA testing--or your conjectures?

Ditch the **** foglights. I hate them there.

I like the GT500 setup so much more.

Hopefully the finished article will be better balanced.
