Guys, I'm worried

Fox Body · 11-25-2003, 06:01 PM

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

Yeah I am also thinking the same way as you are. From the moment i first saw it i have not liked it one bit. I hoipe it doesn't turn out to be like the mustang 2

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 hated the 99 and up. Look what I drive now.

Yeah, I'm trying my best not to write it off just yet. I've seen the concept one and I like that one. Looks real nice to me. And just for reference, I wasn't really sure about the '99 + style when I first saw it, but I wasn't NEARLY as worried about those as I am about this one-- not even close....

...of the moon? (sorry, just couldn't resist.)

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.

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.

of course they are going to have to cheapen it. First of all they had to make it a 4 seater rather than a 2 like the coupe. second of all if they want to keep it at the same price and still appeal to the same buyers theyve had ever since the beginning, there is no way it could look exactly like the concept.
