I would love to see a side by side comparison of the new Stang and a Taurus. It's as if the designers were tired and gave up on styling. Lose the body and gimme the drivetrain.

I agree with you on that.
I hate the new body styling. Doesn't look aggressive at all. My 2013 looks way meaner than the 2015.

I agree too. Love the interior but that exterior is horrid.

Funny, I think it looks way better than the last generation.

It will be way too tall and the trunk lid will be way too high off the ground, but that's just how new cars are (the trunk of my parent's new Taurus is taller then my wife's '93 300ZX!).

Yeah,.....most of the people on the Mustang forum I belong to love it. I do not.
I hate the front end, the side view and that rear is just ugly. Doesn't have that aggressive look to it. It lost it's lines, so to speak.
But, hey, different strokes for different folks.
