Poll : Its unveiled...yes or no?
Simply choose are your overall feelings positive, negative or still undecided. For example, I think you could not like the new design, but you're pleased Ford is trying to go global or evolving the car, or you could think it sucks and Ford has hosed a classic...

You know, I think I'm gonna come around for a positive now. Seeing it more and in higher quality has made it look a lot better. I still don't love the back, but overall the look isn't bad, and the upgrades are huge. Either way, I'll still be sticking with my 06 for a long time coming.

I missed 2013 GT due to financial reasons. Now i am glad i did. This is the mustang it should be. Host of technology. Rear is the only disappointment (not so bad afterall) but that's ok they didn't want to loose traditional muscle car fans. At least this time i pray god blesses me with sufficient financials.

I'm voting still undecided.
There are still too many questions for me before I can pull the trigger.
Of course, the Aston-Martin front end is holding me back. But I already said that in a couple of other threads.
Looks aside, because if the S550 performs very well, I can overlook that Aston grille.
Performance baselines are what I am after.
We all know how the current 3.7V6 and the 5.0L Coyote performs today. Since both engines are being carried over 100% intact in their current incarnations, my curiosity lies in how well the S550 chassis will utilize these engines.
Will the new IRS be able to survive a modded 450hp Coyote? Or even a 550hp supercharged modded Coyote?
Just how badly will the new IRS bind under stock power? Modded power? Etc.
What kind of suspension mods will become available for that new IRS? The S197 suspension mods for their solid rear axles were easy to instal, cheap, and were numerous. But how numerous will the new IRS options be? And how effective will they be in improving over stock handling?

The look of it seems ok but, I have to see a new Stang in person and there is NOT much technical / specs info and most of all price so, UNDECIDED! If we could get a nice GT for the low to mid 30K then ok, if it turns out to be a mid to high 40K then...IDK, the pricing is close to a new C7 1LT package along with the Z51 package....IMO it would be foolish not to pick the Vette! Unless the buyer could only have one car.
