Sorry dude but the plastic on the gt500 and the cs is actually a diffuser and that enhances the look. The plastic on the 10 looks like an afterbirth. Its crap, looks cheap and ruins the design of the car. The taillight design is very much drawn from Japanese cars. Let's be honest- the 10 is a great looking car until you get to the back side. It is a butherass. Good from far but far from good. Love to see her coming but cant wait to turn away when she leaves. Yes- the rear is hideous.

its always the same with anything new...after you start really seeing them on the road, youll end up liking them more and more. i can think of alot of different cars that i didnt like to start with, but after seeing them modded, i start to like them more and more. i never liked the 04 mustangs, but they grew on me.

i guess im in that "tiny" minority that actually likes the new rear end.

Again... it's YOUR opinion and we all know what they say about opinions...they are like azzholes..we all have one, some just use theirs more and louder than others

My issue is...when I say something that is my opinion, the first thing or las thing I say after stating my opinion is that it was just that.... my opinion. You make it like it is a statement..a fact....when in fact..It isn't

Same here. I like both cars equally. i personally felt the rear of the '05-'09 was kinda bland and boring, but I loved the rest of the car. But..that is just my opinion....

Point taken on the opinion part. It is a matter of taste. I do love the rest of the car though. Congrats on your purchase.

If I could keep the 2010 and the 2005 in my garages.. I would. But to keep insurance on (2) Mustangs when..both in fact will not be driven as a daily driver, just is not practical.

I had also tossed about the idea of keeping the '05 and getting a 2010 Ford Flex with the 355 HP AWD 3.5L EcoBoots TwinTurbo...but it starts at $40k!!!

I hope we switch our company cars back to Ford this year. I hate this '08 Impala. What a pile of junk!!

The Impala is a piece of crap. I had one as a company car and it fell apart. We now use the Mailbu. Not bad but not great. My fav co car was by the Crown Vic- fully outfitted. Aw well that was a previous life.

Count me as one of the few who thinks the new rear actually looks better than the previous years. The 05-09 seems a bit plain to me now after seeing the 10.

The rear grew on me. I still don't like it as much as the 05-09. I really think it looks like they tried to pull off something like the Camaro, but failed.

The Camaro didn't exactly pull off anything with its hideous new rearend either.
