I don't care for Mustangs, but I think it looks pretty good! Has a 6-series feeling in the side views. Front looks the bidness.

I think it's a very elegant, but muscular design. Has a lot of Aston Martin elements to it which is good.

I'm ok with it, at least in the pics. It's better than some of the more recent desgins.

Looks good, a lot like a 911 (especially with the GAS ducktail) or a Mercedes GT or an Aston Martin.
Bangle designs Nissans and Lexuses now.

I think we had this exact same thread last week. Personally I think they nailed it, inside and out. It's not controversial like Bangle's BMW designs, and looks far better in person. Also better performing in every way.

It looks to me like the best style offering since 1970

Went with a friend a few weeks back to pick up his Transit Van.
We had to wait a few minutes, so I went into the showroom, and the new Mustang was there, and it reminded me when I saw the new Vette in the flesh a few years back: did not exude quality/flinty gussied appearance(at least to me). And then I looked at the sticker...$5000 markup over MSRP. It was at that very moment, I wished I could projectile-vomit on either the sales person or the car. Anything that's on every street corner isn't that special. But I'm sure they'll sell everyone.

Looks wicked to me. In person, it will likely be 20% larger than I would like, but those are the times we live in. My 997 is a pork pot compared to the SC I owned.

Now in 993 land ...

It does look a little pieced together from different design cues. I like it though - it definitely still looks like a Pony car and still better than the Camaro. I also struggle with these car sizes today. Only thing I really don't like is the hood. Looks like something stung it in the nose.

Guess I dont know what you are after then. The new Road and Track says it has BMW steering, back when BMWs actually had BMW steering. 930's are tail happy, as are most high hp cars without traction control
