I just don't know how I feel about that front end with the fog lights. I think it looks fine on the Shelby.

I don't think that's really the reason. The 2010-2012 Mustangs look a little similar to 2007-2009 GT500s, so those aren't really new grounds for Ford. In my personal opinion, I'm not really digging that front end because it looks too round and the fog lights on the GT seem so small.

No one is getting pissed...

In fact, the only reason why most don't like it is because of that front bumper. Just too round, too.... Europeanish. That and it's really small styling details between the V6 and the GT. I hope the 2015s don't take that a step further, or I'll be purchasing a 2012 or a 2013 with an aftermarket front bumper.

+1. There's just too much going on with the front. The splitters on the bottom were unnecessary, and the fogs look like an afterthought squeezed in right next to the turn signals. And the old hood was a very popular and accepted look, not a lot of people were swapping out the stock one on 2010-2012 models.

It feels like they just took everything that people liked about the mustang and crammed it onto this one (the vents, fogs, faux bumper air inlets galore). Just my opinion though.

No matter how well these cars run for the money, it seems you need to add 5 grand of aftermarket suspension parts, chassis stiffening, wheels and wider summer tires to bring it up to potential. Erik

Saw one at the dealer when I went in for service... They're too bloated! It's like they're just trying to catch up to the "Hot Wheels" look of the Camaro and the Charger.
