Is it too late for Ford to fix the front end of the 2015 Fustang so it looks like a Mustang again?? I mean, if this new styling change is because the Mustang was losing sales to the Camaro before, then Ford is going to be on the fast track to losing sales going forward with the new car. I don't even care anymore. Henceforth, any American motor company that sells out their iconic muscle car heritage I'm done with them. I will glady takes MY money elsewhere. I will not purchase a ricer nor a pig just because it says Mustang on it.

On aesthetics alone, I like the 2014 model better.
I like the head lights and the interior of the new mustang. However, the exterior does not look as aggressive to me. The headlights make it look mean, I agree to that. But the rest of the car's design does not. I think that the 2014 looked like it had power and was going to be fast. I don't get that vibe with this gen. And they should have kept the hood vents from the 2014. The new cup looking ones look cheap and bland. The ones from the prototypes were even better. Lastly, they redesign the taillights after such a cool introduction in the 2013s. They should have kept that styling. I really don't like the new ones at all. I am not saying they had to be exactly the same, but kept the same idea.
I think Ford missed the mark on the 2015. But it could have easily been remedied if they spent a little more time on what the customers liked about the 2013-2014s.

Man, these complaints are getting so boring. Don't like it? Don't buy one!! I'm pretty sure these are going to sell just as well as the S197's. Maybe better. The more modern look will attract more buyer's than it loses IMO. Ford would be insane to not modernize the Mustang.
