BUT there's just NO WAY Ford can keep this car stunning once it's in full production. The car will simply fall apart if I'm correct. Look at Ford's previous quality-control history ... do you REALLY think that they've made an exponential jump in just a few years? I highly doubt it.
That's one car that I'll make very sure to pass up.

I think the new Mustang looks good though I currently like the current Mustang. To see them going retro is like admitting "Our designs sucked the last 40 years". I liked the evolution of the Mustang. This is a good looking car and with those huge fendors, the dub club will be all over it.
Sad thing is, the same 30 year old suspension except on the Corbra (IRL). And the price is now 25-30k for a GT?On top of that, I HOPE performance improves with Atlimas, TLs, WRXs, EVOs etc doing some serious 0-60 times.

Also, I was not commenting on Ford's QC in that post.....I was commenting on the new Mustang's looks, and how it is absurd, in my opinion, to compare it with ANY Chris Bangle car.
Don't just take my word for it....take a poll yourself of CL forum members and see how support you find for Bangle's cars.

in my opinion the best "best modern take on a classic design " as Cin puts it... would have to be the Ford Cobra. Not the mustang cobra. They remade some of those what was it... shelby cobra 427's or something like that. Beautiful car with matching power even though i'm still diggin the new mustang look, don't get me wrong.
I almost bought a little SVT mustang. quick little cars but then i figured ya can't beat the quality of a japanese car.
