2015 Mustang: Yes or No?

[DriverOne]

Just saw the new Mustang, and I'm not sure I like it as much as the 2014 or 2013 editions of the stable. While the harkening to the '64 tails is nice, the rest just seems to me like they melted the original car down. What say you?

[TorqueEffect]

The Mustang needs to evolve, it can't look like the original forever.

At first I didn't like the look, but it is growing on me.
Maybe Mustangs will be taken more seriously now in Europe now that they are no longer using the barn-door engineering solid rear axle and actually have gone fully independent.

Also Turbo 4banger pumping out 300+ Horsepower! Though they will keep the V6 (Why?!? it produces the same power as the Turbo 4banger?) and V8 as well.

^ the v6 will be used for fleet and rental companys, easier to insure and maintain.

I am all for change but the front end needs some work lights look like evo left overs to me, the roof line reminds of a Porsche, and the rear belt line is to low it just looks odd. I am excited to have SVO style option again and can't wait to see what they do with the anniversary edition. As for everyone saying it's finally modern now that it has irs the only complaints about the live axle was that it was old school it held its own on the track just fine and I haven't heard anybody complain about it except that design was outdated (Porsche made the rear engine work and Ford made the live axle work but certain people can't seem to except that it is good simply because it isn't the latest design/style). I have learned that with newer cars it is hard to capture them in pictures, I didn't like the current mustang in pics but like it better in person same with the new silverado and a few others

Looks like they rounded the ugly new Camaro, honestly.

Another one bites the dust.

I'm bored with it.....retro smetro.....enuffs enuff! Lets have a retro Festiva!

[Spike]

^^Yeah!

'Course.. after all the safety garbage, it'd just be another Fiesta.

[Safety Guy]

Tell ya what...I'll take a '65 Mustang hardtop with a 289 along with my brand spanking new '89LX 5 speed Festiva!

And don't forget the brand spanking new '97 Aspire rear axle assembly and front hub-knuckles! Just like they woulda' come off the assembly line before being implanted in an Aspire! Plus that brand spanking new Mazda B8 ready for installation.

BTW, a brand spanking new '95 Aspire SE 5 speed with all the trimmings wouldn't be bad either!

How come all the "new cars" I want are old?

Are we off track enough yet?

Looks pretty similar to the outgoing one IMO. I would rather have any number of other brand new cars, including a Focus ST.

[eurotiva]

I'll have to see one in person, not gonna judge a book by its cover, or a car by it's leaked mag pics

Perfect example of IRS, and live-axle.

That is sexy!

and I think Dodge has set the standard for the looks of cars.... the 2013 Camaro looks too much like the challenger.....

[nitrofarm]

Its not bad it'll grow on me,it sure doesn't look like a Camaro to me though. Some different wheels will help it.It needs a little street racer "Attitude". That one looks like the one your secretary might drive. The Shelby version is what I want to see-

[DriverOne]

Looks like a Mach1 is scheduled for this body style.
