Default new mustang is a let down

I haven't liked any of the mustangs in recent years. When I saw the redesign I thought that Ford might have done something right. The car looks so much better in photo than in person IMO. The car looks bulky and irregular in real life. Just had to share

Correction, Ru:

The new Mustang CONCEPT looked so good in pics. the real thing looks like shit. WTF is up with the faux pas gas cap on the back? I hear the whole retro thing, but the fake gas cap on the rear is ghey.

Looks better in pics than real life. I've seen a few on the road now. The lighter colors look bad ... not that the darker colors look good but you know what i mean

Looks OK to me. I'll have to hold off on my opinion until I see one on the street.

I think they totally ruined the concept.

I'm not really into all that retro stuff. The front end looks OK, but IMO, the rear end just sucks.

I think the hood is terrible. It has this really round arch in it when you look at the car from front or the front quarter. I don't know if it is shaped that way for clearance purposes, but it would look so much better if it was a straighter line from the windshield to the grill.

There is reddish/burgundy-ish one on the next block over from me. Saw it on a run last week.

It was the non GT, had one tailpipe. The windows were clear so I could see the interior. Does not seem finished out very well. Looks cheesy through the glass.

Shame that Ford can only get 210hp out of a 4 litre. That 320 lb of torque on the 4.6litre looks impressive, but have not see one on the street yet.

I like the second lamp set on the grille. They are ok. I was not aware the rear badging was to simulate the old filler cap. It makes sense now.
tsk tsk tsk.

Whatever someone else is happy with, I would not purchase one.
