Said it before and I'll say it again. Its the return to the wrap-around headlights that just don't do it for me.
Give it the proper headlight treatment again, and it just changes the character.

I know it's your opinion but I highly disagree with it! Not exciting?!? IMHO This car is pure sex on wheels and it's a '69! :-)

I don't like the '15 though.

The wrap around lights are were everyone is getting the euro resemblance. Other than that it is a modern take on the 68-70. Front after the 68 and side, rear look after the 69-70. They should have went one way or the other. Keep the lights not wrapped around with current design or went all out and gave it even more euro flare.

I'm the opposite. Loved it at first, am slowly coming to hate it. From some angles it's gorgeous...others not so much. The wrap around headlights are absolutely disgusting.
It also looks like they put a bit too much retro in it...or at least didn't do the "new retro" look correctly. I wish they would've included some minor classic Mustang cues, but just made it a completely redesigned car. I think it can stand on it's own without looking significantly like every other Mustang.

Maybe when Ford does a refresh they will get rid of the wrap-around lights. But now being a global car, who knows.
I really like the car except for that. The interior is awesome, the shape is beautiful. I like the rear end treatment.
... but those lights ...

Saw the 2015 mustang at the Philadelphia Auto Show yesterday and have too say after seeing it first hand. Its okay and nice at best but nothing amazing looking by any means. From the door panels on back the car looks like a 370 Z. Dislike the WTF rear and tail lights. The front fascia is okay. The wheels were super nice. It has too much of an import/euro flair for my liking.
Would never get rid of my 2011 model for it. Still debatable if I would even buy the 2015 stang if I didn't have my 2011 model.

^ in the 2nd pic down from top, give me the GHIG pony lurking in the background. Is that a Roush? Now that's a much nicer alternative than that Fusion, errr, I mean mustang (I use that term very loosely) montrosity in the forefront.

Not digging the wrap around headlights, takes away from the traditional mustang look to much. Not too big a deal once they start hitting the streets, Steeda, Saleen, Roush etc will all have aftermarket front facias available, and I'm guessing none will have wrap headlights.

I finally had a chance to see it in person at the auto show in Providence and I have to say the car does absolutely nothing for me. If it didn't have the Mustang name plate, I wouldn't have even looked at it as long as I did. I am so happy with mine, I'm sure that I'll be taking to car shows 20 years from now.

The rear has grown on me, though I still can't get a feel for what the tail lights look like up close, pictures just don't show the 3D details of the lights.
However, the more I look at the front, the less I like it (didn't love it to begin with).
I also am not a fan of most of the color options, and I don't like *any* of the wheels I've seen so far.
