Well the gf messed up the front spoiler, so I had to take in to the dealership for a paint and patch.

while there I saw the new mustang.

The interior is GREAT I live the chrome pony accents, the lighting, the two tone seats, it looked awesome.

The exterior could not be worse. there are body lines in the metal that are odd and out of place, the headlights are way too small and blacked out, the mirrors too swept, in other words it looks horrible (IMO).

I think my model year will be the last mustang I own. After having 7 ponies I just cant see myself buying and actually driving this new retro/futuristic stang.

Again, only my $.02.

I saw the new model up close at a dealership, both in white and Grabber Blue. Looks pretty sharp.

the fog lights need to go from the front grill and maybe little bullet lights. With the rake in the front the fog lights are HUGE

the rear end is also...strange????

I have a hunch that you'll be back when the 50TH Anniversary hits.

Put it this way, there are great design elements for every Mustang generation. HOWEVER, Ford knocks it out of the park every now and again- the 05-09 style was just that.

I think the 2010+ design is nice. I like the 'slightly' smaller look, but absolutely cannot get over the tall and ugly rear bumper.

I agree with you- I'm keeping my 2008 Mustang GT.

u cant say that ud never own a mustang again, im sure people thought theyd never own another one when the early 80's started, but the foxes got better with the 5.0, and then the awsome mustangs were born again 05-09, not a fan of the 10's either, hopefully around the 60th anneverssary one will b great again, wel just see what time has for the mustang

The 2010 GT500 is sick enough to overlook the goofy tail lights...big time.

Rear-end conversion kit anyone?
