Some things I like, some things not. And one or two things "not sure".
Likes:
Rear quarters (maintains some heritage), dash (I do hope that a 6-gauge cluster remains an option).
Claimed ability to completely turn off both traction and stability control.
Dislikes:
Rear (too big, too "heavy", and way too busy - the little downward "point" under the inner clear portions of the taillight assemblies is without purpose or consistency with any other body line and is just plain wrong)
Wheels/tires that are even bigger than those on the current car (which at 27" tall overall are already an inch bigger than really necessary IMHO). It's not the side view that needs to have the eye distracted from a styling flaw by wheels that overpower it, and they don't help the rear view (that could stand a little help in that department).
Not sure:
Front spoiler as shown in post #166 above. Looks late 60-ish, but somehow not quite right.
ON EDIT - Was that a red 2010 convertible on a turntable right at the very end of last night's episode of "Knight Rider"? They kept cutting to it and then away from it before I could identify it for sure. If so, a little more teasing on Ford's part?

OMG!!!! what the hell they did to the Mustang!!! I'm so jealous of the extra 15HP and don't get me started with the interiors....LOLOL....
J/K couldn't resist!!!
The taillights are a bit to euro for my taste but will reserve final judgement until I see one in person...

It's nothing groundbreaking. Refresh? Yes. Better? I don't think so. It's just a different. I'm pretty discouraged with no new power options. And I don't like the rear... the taillights are ugly and that black area in the rear valance is too big. I'm going to the LA Auto Show on Thursday so I'll reserve full judgement until then, but I kinda already knew what to expect from all those spy shots.
