Since the Mustang's look has changed 3 times since 2005, I'm just wondering which one you guys like best!

2005-2009 body style

2010-2012 body style

or the current 2013-2014 body style

I've got a torch red 07 GT, which I think is plum pretty (especially since it's red lol). I like the look of my car a lot, but I prefer the 2010-2012 body styling over any Mustang - especially California Specials and those that come with Ford's accessory package 5 (scoops and louvers). My favorite thing about the current body style is its sweet tail lights. Honestly, I think the 2010-2012 body style with the 2013 tail lights would be the sexiest car ever.

Let me know what you guys think!

Oh yeah, I'm only asking in regards to the look of the car. Anyone who says that they don't want one with a 5.0 is telling a story, so only consider the body style

No discrimination because of engines please =]

I'd skip the 10-12 just because of the rear. I like the rear of the 2013 best, I like the hood of the 2013 better than the 2005, I like the extension of the nose of the 2013, but the front grill is too big for my taste, it kind of has a dodge vibe. I like the "hips" of the 2010 & 2013...
I think the 2013 slightly beats out the 2005.
But I wouldn't trade mine for anything.

I gotta go with the 05-09 (not biased at all). To me it just captures the classic muscle car look. Don't get me wrong, the newer ones are beautiful cars, just different.

05-06. For two glorious years, it was as if Ford realized how absolutely stupid it is to put fake, functionless scoops all over an otherwise beautiful car. Then, in '07, they forgot.

I had an 05, and now have a 2010. If I could take the rear off of the 05 and smush it with the front end of my 2010 then I would have a perfect car. They are both great cars though.
