Guys, I'm worried
The photos I'm seeing of the '05 Mustang (on the internet and in the newest MM&FF magazine) bother me. I'm scared that this will be the ugliest Mustang ever produced by Ford. I need some reassurance. I've never been worried b4 by Ford as much as I am now. I guess I'm gonna just forsake the '05 Mustang and just save up for a Ford GT .

well that was the exact feeling I had when the 99 was coming out. I absolutely hated that thing. Many others did as well, but it grew on me quite a bit, and has become one of my favorites of all the years.
Dont judge it till the final design comes out.

I was fond of the prototype, but from more recent photos, it appears they've made some changes - almost cheapened it a bit, IMO. Oh well, we'll just have to see what the final production one looks like. Isn't Pontiac coming out with the 'new' GTO? Supposed to be pretty fast from what I hear from my Pontiac friend. E

the outside of it isnt that bad, its the retro interior that would drive me nuts! its clean and sharp looking but if i wanted to buy an old mustang, i would buy an old mustang, they should get with (stay with) the times!
the old gauges and analog clock, ill stick with the 99-04 thanks.
