Default '05 GT

Don't get me wrong, I respect the '05 GT, and really liked it untill I got to examine one up close. It has kind of lost some of it's appeal to me (appearence wise). I really dont like the grill and the lights just don't look right to me. From the front it just has a really submissive look to it. The aggressive Mustang look has just been lost in this car. I'm sure many of you disagree, but it's just my .02. Here are some pics I took.

A few more pics... The pics of the red one are from a cruise night at Sutton Ford. The pics of the silver on are from the Chicago Auto Show.

I was the exact opposite!



I thought the pictures of it looked ugly as hell, until I saw the smoke grey one with silver racing stripes at the Columbus Auto Show...I literally fell in love with that thing! They had an 04' Mach 1 next to it and I still liked the new styling better...

The new '05 Mustangs do not have the great appearance anymore. I don't know what ford was thinking when they designed the exterior of that car. Glad I have a 00.

I'm kinda in the middle. I think I like the 99-04 body style more, but I haven't seen an '05 in person yet, so we'll see.

i think its in the wheels, they look kinda lame. a more agressive looking set will make the car stand out. i also think the back half of the car has a "softer" look than some of the prototypes ford put out, maybe its just me.

so far i agree with the negative reviews on it. im waitin for one to come into our dealership so i can see it for my self. and in my personal opinion. i think that 05 is gonna be one of the ugliest years of vehicles released. look at the new chryslers and pontiac.. yuck
