It's a decent looking car, but it doesn't really look powerful, like a Mustang should.

 

[youngwerther]

Could someone please articulate why they think this car is so ugly?

Nope.
Welcome to the hater's ball.

Describe something beautiful to a blind person and then try the opposite. It's offensive. It looks like a neon had an affair with a tiburon and they played dress up using spare parts from an old Porsche. The taillights are hysterical, the hips are out of place, and the entire build is leaning the wrong direction. Have you ever seen a mustang before?

Ah, yes..."offensive". The favorite word of the pretentious.

 

[Log4Girlz]

I hope there's a trim with the chrome accents from the evos concept. Really makes it look more Aston. The clip seems to show one with chrome for a second

Wow @ those ground textures.

 

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

Ford does not own Jaguar or Aston anymore. Jaguar is owned by an Indian company which I find HILARIOUS.

Why is it hilarious? I think it's finally fitting that an unreliable car manufacturer like jaguar is finally owned by a company that most would likely think of as unreliable. It's a match made in heaven.

 

[diehard]

still like the older design more but about time they put an ecoboost in one.

 

[Doczu]

All those new revisions of muscle cars make me think how a modern Trans Am would look like... Brb guys, going to cover in sheets, roll and cry

Except some of the new jags look and sound downright beastly.

Yeah, Jaguar and Land Rover are owned by Tata Motors of India.

Wow, really?!?! A British icon owned by a former colony, I would have never imagined it!

 

[ClassyPenguin]

Wow, really?!?! A British icon owned by a former colony, I would have never imagined it!

The USA was a former colony.

 

[Silkworm]

The Boss and Shelby iterations will be okay though, right? *hopes*

 

[gimmmick]

Ehh... for the money an scion FRS is a better deal imo.

 

[Piggus]

Yay, no more live rear axle.

 

[sant]

The USA was a former colony.

Britain's relationship with India was way more complicated than with the US

They fucking invaded us.

No one knows how much this will cost...

 

[iceDragon7]

Lol

 

[sant]

Big deal, are you still feeling the effects of British occupation? India and Pakistan probably came pretty damn close to nuking each other.

Edit: Not to mention the Mughals were pretty damn wealthy before the Brits showed up.

 

[Madness]

Yeah no kidding. Pretty crazy to think that the very car that chauffeured King George and his family around in British India in front of poor Indians is now owned by descendants of those same Indians.

 

[Tesseract]

i miss boxier cars. fuck yo curves.

 

[youngwerther]

Big deal, are you still feeling the effects of British occupation?

Every fuckin day, homie.

 

[SmokyDave]

Looks like a Mustang mated with an XK8. I like it.

That said, I haven't seen the rear yet, that pic didn't load.

 

[SlickShoesRUCrazy]

looks like a scion/suburu :-/

 

[LaNaranja]

I'm really not feeling the front. :/

The back looks good though.

 

[About to go HAM]

looks like a scion/suburu :-/

you're right i think...the four wheels really are what give it away.

 

[siddx]

I'm not a big Mustang fan but I think this one looks pretty decent. I will say my opinion softened quite a bit on Mustangs when I got to drive a brand new one last summer. Had a lot of fun just driving around in it for a day. I had been a steadfast "fuck mustangs" guy for years until then.

 

[Banglish]

This fo sho. Needs some grunt.
Front end doesn't do much for me. Ass is alright. I liked last gen.

 

[Rookje]

I still have the best looking (next-gen) muscle car on the road

 

[Snot Rocket]

I like!

 

[MechDX]

eeewwwwwwwwwww

THIS is a MUSTANG.

 

[forrest]

I still have the best looking (next-gen) muscle car on the road

Agreed! Rented one of these last weekend for a quick out of town trip. Was lovely. I'll take two please!

 

[KemoSabe]

And with those stupid EU laws about emission we wont get the big engine Herr, only this ecoboost shit.
Fuck that.

 

[ViperVisor]

I like the taillights part of the car.
Other than that... meh

It doesn't look very fast.
It doesn't look very mean.

 

[m0dus]

I like it. Looks sleek but retains the character of the previous models.

 

[muddream]

This looks very nice, reminds me of when Jaguar got rid of the retro bullshit while still keeping the essence.

The need to release this worldwide, it no longer has that All-American poser stigma.

 

[Funky Papa]

They need to paint that rear diffuser black and move the goddamned start button. Other than that, it's fine.

You can't hold to nostalgia for too long, otherwise the formula becomes stale. It's a nice update that retains the Mustang's identity while adding some freshness to it.

Ford Europe has been involved in its design. The idea is to release the Mustang all over the world for the first time ever.

With a few tweaks to the front end to differentiate it more from the Fusion, I would actually be pretty gung-ho about the direction they are taking.

Even the V8? The only 6 cylinder engines that sound good enough to be in this type of car are built by Porsche

 

[ClassyPenguin]

Not in the States if you want a muscle car.

should have just taken this design and worked from there.

The V6 is pretty damn good in terms of specs.

 

[CyclopsRock]

I like it. Especially the grey convertible in the link.

My girlfriend and I just drove one (a 2013 convertible) down the Californian coast. It was fun to drive, had a much, much better turning circle than I thought it would, and did everything we asked of it. We had the teeny tiny (lawl) 3.7l engine, and it even had quite a bit of sprint in it when we loaded it up with cases (and I was amazed at how much we could fit into it).

That said, we drove about 2,000 miles in all, and averaged 22.9MPG... But fuck it, "gas" is so cheap in the US, it's worth it for the fun.

They really should have. Given that it's not for this earth much longer (RIP Falcon) Ford could've done far worse than taken some design cues from it.

 

[hipbabboom]

It's like they spliced a Nissan 370Z with a Dodge Challenger:

+

I don't hate it

 

[TCRS]

I love the exteriors of these new muscle cars, but the interiors are disgusting.

 

[Bulbo Urethral Baggins]

Looks good. A little more curvy, which is long overdue. This whole retro muscle car thing has gotten tired.
And it sounds like they're finally really focusing on the handling.

 

[Zizbuka]

Reminds me of my mom's old '70something Capri. I like that they didn't go overboard with lights and stuff, but that looks like a $20,000 car to me. Still prefer the Camaro.

 

[MattKeil]

Amen. Nothing but good news inside and out on this one.

People think the Camaro looks better than this? At least this isn't fucking Bumblebee.

 

[DJ88]

I really liked the look of the new mustangs. But with this, they took away all the hard angles and straight lines to make it more smooth and curvy like most other cars now. Sucks.

 

[Camp Lo]

Don't like the placement of the start button, too close to other instruments.

What the fuck... Why Ford? How is that even cosmetically appealing?!

 

[hwalker84]

Yep. Me too.

Now it's Chryslers turn IMO to finally unveil the 2015 refresh and the rumored 2015 Barracuda.
