I don't like it. Not for the Boss.

I do like that they dropped in the tri-bar logo. Otherwise I prefer the '12 as well right now.

Love them both but the 13 really does it for me. The styling changes for 13 is the reason I ordered a BOSS.

I like both for different reasons. The '12 is more distinct from other models in the Mustang line-up while I like the sparing use of the black plastic claddiing on the '13 that is so prevalant on the '10 - '12 cars

Well, of course YOU do, Fred.

Don't get me wrong, like ol' Fred, I have loved the Shelby design ever since it came out. I just think giving all of the Mustangs the same face, dilutes the individuality of...let's face it...very different cars.

"Whoa! Is that a new Shelby GT500?"

"Heh, no. That's a V6 auto that I rented from Hertz."

I'll admit that I have spent two years looking at every photo ever published of the Boss, searing the images of their identity into my brain and now, maybe I just don't want to accept the change.

No matter what I think, I will still be pulling for the de-tuned Shebys in Grand Am this season!

The Roush car didn't have a Boss grille and I'm not sure it's a 302 R The 302 R's had the tri-bar pony on them.

The Mustangs seem to be struggling with speed this weekend at Barber.
