They do look alike, except the Mustang is euro sexy and the Fusion is a dull company car.
It's a saucy looking Mustang Ford can pimp-out to the Rental companies.

Very true.

I was watching a youtube video about the Singer 911 and as I was watching, was looking at the car, looked at the Porsche website, and while it has grown in size for regulations, they have never strayed from that shape. The 911 is 50 years old this year.

I wonder how it would've been if Ford kept the original's fastback shape through all of their generations like Porsche did.

Yea, every other decade Ford has to screw things up:
1960's Mustangs: GOOD
1970's Mustangs: BAD
1980's Mustangs: GOOD
1994+ Mustangs: BAD....The Termi Cobras are OK!
2005+ Mustangs: GOOD
2015+ Mustangs: BAD....probably, if it follows the pattern....TBD
2025+ Mustangs: GOOD....Seems promising but, a long wait!!
It's just my opinion!

Have to agree here. Every Mustang generation has it's high and low points. You can't generalize it into alternating "bad" and "good" eras. Even the Mustang II (which I am not a fan of...) had it's good points (like better fuel economy in an era where it was as big a factor in purchasing decisions as it ever has been).

lol...I'm 43 and had just about type/era of Mustang made and yea, I agree with you, my statement was made in general terms....when you state the new edge mach you have to remember back in those times, the camaro SS or GTO with the LS engine would spank the crap out of the 94-2004 mustangs except the termi. Those were dark days for the Mustang....IMO and I was forced to buy a SS Z28 back then!! The Cobra R was and still is bad azz but, never see those on the roads back then and as far as the 70's goes, IMO, 1970 was the last good year of the mustang until 1979. IMO but, each to their own ideas and likes!
