+1 for not being in love with the exterior styling. To me it's bland. It reminds me of a Hyundai, and a bunch of other cars blended together. (There may have been an article on Jalopnik about this) In its defense, though, most new cars suffer from this. I'm sure it's a result of platform sharing/ parts sharing, set standards for ergonomics and safety, and too many "cooks in the kitchen" resulting in a design by committee to appease too many people.

Odd... That's OK, of course. Different flavors and all that.

I do agree on how designers have to work around so many standards. New cars are stupid tall! My folks just bought a new Taurus, and the trunk lid is taller than my wife's '93 300ZX. I'm completely serious!

I am not completely convinced until I see it in person, but at least in photos, I love the thing.

Anyone know when they're due to hit showrooms?

The Roush Mustang looks the best so far. Still not completely loving it, but it's a HUGE improvement over the stock GT model.

I see Hennessey got into the Mustang game now as well.

For some reason,.....I'm digging the Hennessey the best out of all that I have seen so far. Even the Roush, and I own a '13 GHIG Roush RS3.

Quote: Melanie Banker, Mustang marketing manager put it simply: "The EcoBoost engine is a whole new proposition that we don't have today," and well, people just aren’t accustomed to it. She did say, though, that through clever use of ads, they can steer buyers’ opinions in the right direction - "People look forward to Mustang advertising. It's usually pretty fun. We're selling dreams."
