wow theres a lot of old people on here...
Retro cars are well and good, but I didn't really care since I wasn't alive when the first one was out. I like the evolution to the 2010+ from the 05-09. The same way I am excited to see what evolution might come from the camaro and challenger. Also, I am 24.

My kids are your age, but as TampaGT stated... you are only as old as you feel and I am physically in better shape than many "youngsters" as well.

When i had my 05 at first i didn't like the 10 rear, you have to see it in person. i like it better than the 09 down rear now. show me a guy who doesn't think this looks good, and I'll show you a guy I wish testicular elephantitis on:

I really liked the 2005 when it came out. Ford did a great job of updating the look while still paying homage to the original Mustang. With that said I think the latest style is a nice move forward and IMO looks better. Not to mention it's a superior car in every measurable category, just as any new model should be. If it wasn't that would be a problem. I've never been into nostalgia and don't spend a lot of time listening to music and reminiscing from/about my high school days. I much prefer to keep moving forward in life including my cars. The 2010+ Mustangs look terrific and can hold their own with any car in their price range built from any corner of the planet. That's what I find appealing about the car.

I'm also 24 too. And I guess I never really payed attention to Mustangs Til the 99-04 came out. They just looked badass to me. But still had enough classic lines to represent the 60s models. When the 05s came out, I wasn't a big fan. I still arent that much of a fan of them. But the 2010s really got me interested in the car again. They looked more "badass" again than just plain like the 05s seemed to me.
So idk, I guess I'm more of a fan of aggressive stylin than I am of retro. But I think the 2010 model really made a great modern mustang, with a few retro cues.
But again, I'm just a mustang fan of any year. Any car to stay in production for almost 50 years and still are well popular just says something... Whether it be a classic stang, fox, sn95, new edge, s197 or 2010+.

Same here with respect to GM's F-body cars. For some reason, only the 3rd gen cars ever struck much of a chord with me as well. And that's after having one friend who owned a 1967-ish Camaro, a time-speed-distance sports car rallye teammate who drove a big-block 2nd gen (1971?) Camaro, and having driven a 4th gen Firebird at autocross.
