Looks damn cheap, the Scion tC is of much better quality construction.

Drove 5,000+ miles on a recent vacation. Majority of the vehicles broken down on the side of the freeway are Ford.

I like it better than the current one. Reminds me of the 60's model.

Most of the time whenever I'm on the freeway, I usually see a ford vehicle on the side of the road w/ the hood opened. I do like the mustangs however, but I doubt I'll ever own one due to reliability. The new mustangs in the pictures look nice, but also cheap.

I KNEW IT!

I cannot properly express just how much I knew that this would happen. Ever since I saw the initial concept I knew that the final production model was going to turn out cheap as all get out.

That looks terrible. All of the interesting design cues that were on the concept are gone. It now looks like the current gen dressed up in a throw-back.



dumb and dumpy(er).

As far as the new Mustang in those pictures goes though - I think it's a huge improvement over the current one, although the non-GT model (without those big fogs I guess) has large wheels gaps and small wheels which certainly isn't sporty. But I bet with a nice set of 18s or bigger and a drop it will look good.

I like stangs but not sure about this new one. The concept looked cool...as usual. The production models look sorta cheap. I dunno, we'll see.
