BORG Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 (edited) The first Mustang I'd actually buy! Although, those headlights aren't cutting it! They are smaller than the fog lights!

Anthony Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Those are not production headlights. Trailer hitch is to tow monitoring equipment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be alot of hype about the return, and yes, it will be hailed as the end of the Mustang sales crown(of course there has not been any competition). The Mustang will be 5 years old with out any design change. I have a feeling the refresh will be more than up to the Camaro challenge.

Michael Reynolds Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I'm still on the fence when it comes to this car. I'm not so sure I dig the over stylized doors and side body panels, GM could have cleaned it up a great deal and still had a very nice car. The rear is mehh, and so far the interior isn't doing much for me. I'd still own one any day of the week over the nasty looking Challenger.

TomServo92 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 That I agree with. Too me there is just something wrong with the way the point on the front looks. I've not been a fan of this design. The rear view looks like something from a Japanese anime. It'll definitely sell to the hardcore GM faithful but beyond that, not so sure...

Ford??-LOL! Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I liked the concept but there are enough differences in the production version that are making me reconsider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchdevil Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Look at the rear end end on it's very ugly and malproportioned.... I don't like the interior at all... The headlamps are not production spec. Expect them to be as big as the entire housing the make-do projectors are set in. Nothing about the new Camaro makes me like it more than my new Mustang.... Kinda ironic because when the 1982 Camaro came out I abandoned ship against the stodgy and upright Fox bodied Mustang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ovaltine Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 (edited) It looks like a caricature or cartoon (pun intended) to me. The rear clip sucks BIG TIME to me as well. THIS is the Camaro/Z28 they should have modeled the new car after, IMHO: -Ovaltine Edited March 11, 2008 by Ovaltine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang84isu Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I like it, but one thing that bugs me (and I have noticed it on a lot of cars these days) are how tall they are. I think the new Camaro would look 100% better if it wasn't so upright / tall. If you put this up next to, say, a 1982 Camaro, I bet it would dwarf it in both height and length. These cars aren't supposed to be practical...cut down on the weight by getting rid of the rediculous dimensions. When I first heard that the Zeta platform is basically getting axed, I was dismayed...but if Alpha manages to make a smaller Camaro without being compact like a Solstice or Sky, I'm all for it. Zeta is way too large for this car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not so sure I dig the over stylized doors and side body panels, GM could have cleaned it up a great deal and still had a very nice car. "Over stylized" is a fancy way of saying what exactly? Oh yeah, nothing. It's words that mean nothing except in your own perception of what you think the car should or shouldn't be. Some people no doubt think the Mustang is "over stylized", whatever that's supposed to mean. The rear is mehh, mehh being an official term for what? Oh yeah, nothing. Just more perception. and so far the interior isn't doing much for me. I'm not crazy about the interior either and at least you had the presence of mind to state this part as an opinion. But to be honest there's nothing great about the Mustang interior in any fashion either. Between the two, it's 6 of one, a half dozen of the other. I'd still own one any day of the week over the nasty looking Challenger. Frankly to me the Challenger and Camro both have more appeal than the stang. Unlike the Mustang, the Challenger actually will have an interior that is well designed. Ok, now you guys can go back to tooting Fords horn and living the dream. later.

Unlike the Mustang, the Challenger actually will have an interior that is well designed. And your personal opinion is more valid than any of the ones above in what way? This is a site focused on Ford, as you already know. Those of us that like to see the good in Ford and the progress that has been made have little reason to complain as there are countless others on here that will do it for us. I don't see what is wrong with people choosing to prefer Ford. I also don't see whats wrong with people preferring any other brand. In my opinion the Mustang is much better on the outside than either of the other two. The Challenger looks like it really is from 1970 exterior wise. The Mustang interior is simply OK, and the Challenger, from what I see, will be nothing to write home about either. Oh, and the Camaro looks like crap all the way around.

BlackHorse Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Meanwhile Mustang sales didn't even break the 8000 mark in February, because it's such a great car. lol There's nothing wrong with liking Ford. I like some of their stuff too. But fankly this site is one big Ford circle jerk fest. If you guys are for real, you need to get a f***ing life, seriously. It's pathetic.

Sixt9coug Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Meanwhile bitching about 8K sales a month is a bad thing? Thats just under 100K a year for a niche car. The profile of the Camaro is really nice. The back looks like a model of a Corvette was left in the sun too long, and well, im not diggin the front as much as the concept. i hope its just hte headlights throwing me off, but it just lost something up front. The interior pics from who knows when looked like ass. it was terrible looking. I still prefer the G8 much more all the way around. The Challenger is nice even though its also a porker, and I await what the new Mustang will look like. Hopefully that didnt grow into too much of a pig.

napoleon Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Its not a very good looking car to me. Its weird how they took a few straight sharp lines like the front clip and rear and then used round pregnant woman rear fenders, cartoonie looking. The halo lights around the gauges are sweet but the hvac control knobs look like the volume knob on a sony bookshelf radio to me. That rear end is really rough looking, caddy xlr comes to mind, its not working for me one bit. I wanted to like the new mustang and I do but dont plan on owning one anytime, its just too damn big of a car. I think they look nicer, cleaner, more proportioned than the camaro though. Keeping in mind this is MY opionion on a FORD website, im not up for debating or aguing what I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm...and what other coupe on the market even came CLOSE to 8000 units last month? Just under 100K is pretty incredible for a "niche car", don't you think? Fact is, we've been spoiled by the SUCCESS of the S197 so badly that when sales become "very good" instead of "holy shit they can't build enough" it starts looks like a disappointment.

atomaro Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I just dont see it. The new Camaro is one of the ugliest vehicles out there. IMO it ranks right up there with the Aztek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang84isu Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I think out of the Mustang, Challenger, and Camaro, the Camaro is the most cartoony of the three. All the GM fans talk about how the Mustang is too retro, but proportionally it was done much better than the other two. Don't get me wrong, I like both the Challenger and Camaro, but both cars are too big and "overstylized" is a good term to describe them. The pointy nose, concave rear, and big hips on the Camaro are too much. The Mustang is more restrained, which will wear better over time.
