that light *grabber* blue is nice. it's not a bad looking car, better looking than the current one, but that long drawn-out reveal on the website, totally not worth it just for this

Better than the old one, but still won't be fun to drive in anything other than a straight line.

why does it seem like some people just have to jump on the "its a ford so it instantly sucks band wagon" you may not like every aspect of a car but this is far from a POS.

Yes the instrument panel and dash could be better (look cheap and I dont care for retro guages), but overall its a nice car. they did a good job with the restyled design.

No way. My 07 GT/CS is way better look then any of those and I'm not really that biased since I'm thinking of trading it in for an 09 8. Still, it looses the the classic look IMO.

What really needed to change is the solid rear axle. Joke of all jokes.

Sigh.....

It looks like a charger/challenger in the rear quarter panels.

I think Ford was like, "Look how popular the challenger and the charger are, let's make the mustang look like those cars"

Seriously, the current mustang model will be timeless, like the 1992 to 2001 rx7.

But these are my thoughts.

I like it. Then again, I am a mustang lover. I've had 2 in previous years. For what the mustang is built for, it's fantastic. Just like the 8 is good at what it was built for.

I've never been a fan of the previous Mustang, and it's not for lack of want, I love the power possibilities, I just can't get past the weight, suspension, looks and interior. From that list, this new mustang seems to ghve fixed the looks of the front of the car, but that's it. Too bad.

Yes, the Challenger is silly huge. I saw what was possibly a prototype when I visited Chrysler.

Yeah, what's up with those wheels and the bizarre blue color?

that light blue is very reminiscent of an early mustang color I had a 65 like this one



for a number of years and when i saw the new blue one thats what i thought of. However like i said in my last post- that black on the bottom kills it.

Not bad. I also don't like the back. The interior upgrade is long over due.

As pointed out, the color of the blue 2010 Mustang is Grabber Blue, very different from the one in your picture.

The "Grabber" hues (including Lime and Orange) were originally available back in the 70s I believe.

The baby blue Mustang looks like Smurf puke.

The darker blue is okay, but the red isn't a good color for me to decide.

Black would not distract me as much, and is a sick color on a muscle car.

If the car fails dressed in black, then it fails in every way.
I need to see it in black.

This light blue is nice. Didn't realize the '65 looked so nice in this color.

It may be the photo, but this 'electric' blue makes the car look like a child's toy.
