Hey there. I'm new to this forum but not to Mustangs. I've owned two mustangs and currently had my for about 8 years. Just wanted to say hi. I do have a question about retro. I recently had a conversation with a friend and he does not consider the New Edge Mustang to me retro. The New Edge does have retro features on her so I consider it to be retro. What do you think?

Welcome! And it certainly does not have the distinct retro styling the SN197/05+ Mustangs. It does however has the lines reminiscent of the classic Mustangs. The most prominent feature that would be considered close is probably the somewhat fastback look for the New Edge Mustang which somewhat resembles the 65-66 Fastback Mustangs. It also does keep the three bar taillight the classic mustangs have though it's too futuristic(in comparison to the classic mustangs and the SN197) to be called retro. And I guess the side scoop would count as an ode to the classic style. But other than that it doesn't look retro especially when you compare it to the SN197 which definitely has the retro styling in mind.
