Ford brought a new Mustang out to a local Cars 'n Coffee meetup last month and let people look at the two cars side by side. Personally? I really like the new design. What's interesting to me is that the S197 doesn't actually look old. Different, sure, but not dated. Video is on the blog here.
Do you agree?

Side note, one of the first cars I really appreciated and enjoyed was an two tone green Bel-Air.

Look at the bright side. Now, just like Dodge, Ford has a car that gives you the choice of a 2 door ( Challenger/Mustang ) or 4 door ( Charger/Fusion ) version.
If you love that -- Just wait a couple years when Ford turns the Mustang from a fastback to a 5 door hatch to keep European & Asian consumers happy.

The front end held me back from liking it initially, but it been growing on me the last couple of weeks. I love the profile and the rear end and Ford did a great job on the lighting and the interior.

Hahahaha...... See what happens when you make two separate model lines the same? End up confusing people like me :-). Kidding of course
I do too… But I like the fusion for a fusion or any other generic looking current style sedan. Just not for a "Mustang".

[QUOTE="lajntx;6741856"] Want to bet some money that across the country in the larger ford dealerships that employ mostly recent immigrants for the porter type positions that more than once when told to go the the receiving/pdi pen to get the new mustang/fusion that they confuse each other? [/QUOTE As the son of immigrants, I fail to see why recent immigrants needs to be a part of your joke. I'm not being sensitive, just wondering what your train of thought is.

Because he obviously can't handle change...and is butt hurt that Ford didn't make the car look like an 05-09
