The only thing I like about the '10 is the Grabber Blue color. In my opinion, the 05-09 are so much better. I love the new Camaro and would get one of those before a new mustang.

Also, what's so bad about the new rear end? I think its alright and not horrible like many people seem to believe.

History repeats itself. I remember the SN95 guys not liking the S197's when they first
arrived. It may shock some of you to hear this, but not everybody liked the 2005's when
they were introduced. Now, I think some folks are so in love with their 2005-2009 car
that it would be impossible (in their mind) for Ford to improve upon it no matter what
they did to the new design. Don't get me wrong, we love our S197 vert, but the new
design IMO is a faithful progressive evolution of the things we love about the S197's.

There is always room for improvment, except for the 67 fastback.
I myself, never cared for the look of Mustangs since 1970.
I liked the 05 because of its retro appeal but I was disappointed when it came out, due to the huge difference from the concept car.
And if it wasn't for my wife, I wouldn't even have a S197.
The 010 Shelby still has the most aggressive look (front only) a Mustang ever had IMO.

See that's where I think you're wrong... most '05 - '09 owners (and fans) think Ford did a great job at improving the design with the '10. It looks more aggressive from the front end, the "hips" are almost universally praised, and the interior is top notch. It's only the rear end that screws up the '10. If Ford revised the rear end to make it look more like a Mustang, they wouldn't have so many negative comments on the new design.

There are alot of '05 - '09 owners who say Ford copied the hips from the Challenger and "just threw them on" at the last minute.... PLEASE!!! I don't mind if you voice your opinion and say upi don't like this or that about the car...but for those that don't like it....DON"T MAKE UP SHYTE!!! You make yourself sound and look like a total azzwipe. Lets say "IMO" or stick to facts.
My rant is over and was not intended to anyone in particular....expect for the azzwipe that made that comment...

The hip is what makes the 10 more of a Mustang than the 05s
EXACTLY!!! Awesome pics by the way and they show off exactly what I tried to convey about how Ford went back into history and added the hips and did not just copy the Challenger to keep pace

That ain't that bad is it? I might start to get used to it.
I think the car has grown on me tremendously and I feel it is a great car. Ford made a mistake by not painting everything once again in body color but that is an easy fix and I would love the new GT500 and would buy one in a sec if I had the cash!....carry on
