Everytime I get behind a s197 mustang on the road and i see the rear.. it just doesn't look good. It's way way too big. I think our cars would look 1000 times better if the rears were much smaller. Even people who like the way the rears look have to agree that if it was even a bit smaller it would look better. The rear bumper is huge and the taillights.. what was Ford thinking? They're three times the size of the older stangs! The mustangs of the 60s and 70s had small rears which made they look more muscular.. the big rears on the s197s make the car look clunky. What saves the appearance of the car is the great side design and the most awesome front end. Rant over.
I look forward to the redesigned mustang with a smaller rear.

I gotta disagree w/ J Venomous. The Saleen rear takes really away from the retro look. What makes our rears complete is when you put a GT500 spoiler to fill out the back or something similar, rather than the pedestal style. I think these cars are perfect, a$$ and all.

Yes, I know the trunk lid is not centered.
Thanks Ford.
