Has anyone who has seen the mustang in person been anything less than VERY VERY impressed. Every writer who has seen it seems to love it.. Across the board people seem to say it's way cooler in person than in pics. And, in pics it's pretty darned cool.
I know that some of the mustangsource guys have seen it. Anyone not love it??? Has anyone seen a writer for any magazine not give kudos for it's astetics. Obviously there will have to be finished production level examples before we know much about performance. But, it seems pretty unanimous that's it's a sexy looking beast. Obviously there are likely writers that I haven't seen, so clue me in if you've read differently.

Not that I don't think the new Mustang is awesome, every time I see new pictures or video I am impressed but when it comes to major buff books I'm always a little suspect when they gush over a new model as a paycheck of some sort is involved. It always seems any new model be it a forgettable mode of transportation or something like the new Mustang is the greatest thing since sliced bread when its introduced and a year later after the checks have been cashed its the worst.
I think the only person in the industry I lend credence to is Robert Cumberford when he did or does a styling analyst of a new automobile. His reviews come off as a bit more honest anyways.

It's losing. Not loosing.
And Ford deliberately lowered the power rating of the V6 so as to make the 2.3T seem like more of an upgrade - just like they do with the 5.0 in the F-150 - they rate the EcoBoost 5hp more with way more torque, even though with a better tune, the 5.0 would exceed those numbers. It's marketing.

Well now, that's what I was thinking Pat. Marketing is an unusual monster. Underrate to get folks to look at the newer, more powerful, and costly engines. I do hope that Ford has figured out a fix for the condensation problem in their 3.5L EcoBoost, and it doesn't creep into these turbo engines.
BTW, the new F-150's will have a 2.7L TT offering. Not sure how this will translate with the truck guys out there.

Here's the biggest problem with the 2015 Mustang:
The cheap *** black plastic sideskirts.
Every manufacturer pulls this crap. They introduce a new model of a car with really crappy black plastic sideskirts, then a couple years later, what do they do? A cosmetic refresh on the car which includes painting those skirts, *instantly* dating the older cars and making them look terrible.
The 2015 Mustang might look great now, but wait a few years and it will look like crap as the body style ages and progresses and gets a couple facelifts.

I was thing that, at least, perhaps offer some different colors/finishes. I was thinking perhaps a brushed light and dark metallic options might be interesting. I think Volvo just started offering this on some models.
