Bashing and criticism are more than welcome...

My thoughts:
This is the picture I just made and posted on my instagram account.
I can handle the front end, I don't hate it but I definitely don't like it...
I like the idea of the hatchback look of the roof line... But boy as it executed poorly...
I hate hate hate hate hate hate the rear end. Did I mention how much I hate the rear end?
The only thing really left from the older Mustangs are the taillights and the name 'Mustang', a name this car does NOT deserve IMO.

the5.ohh said this on Instagram:

BOOOOO!!!! The front will take a little getting used to but the rest of the car is spot on! They ****ing nailed it with the Fastback look (not hatchback), and bringing back the inset 67-68 tail light panel. This will def NOT be the Mustang II of its generation, it will be the best mustang yet no matter if you want it to be or not. wait and see.

Half you people are absolutely crazy and if you can't see the Mustang lineage in this, then you need to stop looking at your dated SN95 and actually look at the range that started in 1964 and up until today. This isn't really that wild or far of a departure from the way the body has been going in recent years. The lower roofline looks great, the ass end of it screams 67-68 fastback, and overall I like it. I'm not a HUGE fan of the front end but I'm sure I'll like it better in person because I had the same feelings about the lastest models. I'm excited to see one in person.

I want to see one in person. The front end will need tweaking, it's just weird. I miss the 94-04 days as far as front end styling goes. What's wrong with having a grille that's not upside-down? I have to disagree with Ford saying "it's all new" because that styling is not radically different like the Foxbody to the SN-95, it's still quite retro looking.

Other than that I have to agree with the people saying it's growing on them. The images from Ford definitely look better than the renderings. The profile of the car looks amazing and the rear is pretty good. Glad it finally ditched the SRA and that interior looks 100x better than anything that's ever been in a Mustang before.

Hey they stole my photo angle with the door open lol.

Idk just seems to me the muscle car era is gone and we've moved into a more euro sports car themed era. It's a decent looking car the more I see of the real one. We'll see what it looks like when they start mass producing

The Mustang was never really intended to be a muscle car. It's a pony car :thumbsup:
