Default '09 Mustang spy shots

A lot more modern. Sort of reminds me a bit of the Camaro concept.

Ican give 2 shits less at this point about looks, the current looks are great. But for the love of good ford. Bring us back a v8 along the lines of an LSX motor. Lightweight, simple, and making 320 crank horsepower. And get the car back into the 3200 curb weight!

I'm sure it'll look good when we see the whole enchilada. The ususal initial repsonse is always negative. But designs grow on people. The concept looks pretty cool. But...like Mars said....I want it to be smaller and lighter too. They keep making it bigger and heavier.
Reminds me of the old days....like a '73 Mustang comapred to like a '67 'Stang.
As it progressed it got big. I'd like to see a smaller, more nimble, sporty, and back to basics Mustang. More along the lines of the old LX 5.0 but more modern.
But, I guess the current Mustang's main market is baby boomers. And it's design is in response to their tastes.

the only thing that would help is if they make new designs. selling a shit load of mustangs mean nothing if they are all soccer moms or stupid ass kids. ford, chevy, and dodge need to make cars that bring back the prestige of american muscle. chevy and dodge are doing a little bit better now that they have the hp battle with the viper and vette, but they need more. rwd cars, quality interior, and cars that make you want to own one or make people want to switch to a domestic vehicle. the shit they come out with now doesnt have any of that.

and please dont take offense to this if you are a domestic owner, its just my opinion
