I actually think that frontal shot is the worse angle of the new Mustang. Any angle getting the rear is gold though.

Its going to be interesting to see how the BOSS and GT350 pan out, that Saleen effort is bordering rice (havent used that in ages!) for me.

I must admit I like the front on previous model stang as it actually looks like one
The new one has nicer tail lights. But I recon its only a matter of time before the mustang doesn't look like one any more

Default 2015 Saleen Mustang

That looks like the standard mustang to me. This is a pic that was posted on Facebook by Road & Track today. Could be an over the top CGI:

Edit: apologies the GIF didn't morph into the Saleen for me on Tapatalk (iPad) so I only saw the std Mustang pic. I'll leave this pic up in case the same happens to others.

I think the earlier Mustang looks a heap tougher than the latest version.

x1000 The original classic mustangs were the best, followed distantly by the first of the retro mustangs (2005?). Now its getting a bit tired - a bit like Coke trying to do vanilla coke, cherry coke, or whatever coke. The original will always be best.

So, using that reasoning, the Falcon should have stopped at the XA then?

Not a very fair comparison, a Super Snake verses basic 2015's which is all that's been released thus far.


This however is a little more fair...




And the back end of any 2005-2012 looks puss compared to the 2015

Not really, but one retro model followed by cleansheet design on next model would be great, say a Retro XY. FG was a mistake. BA was a good looking car but it didn't need a version 2.0 for the next model. XF->EA, ED-EF, and EL->BA were all amazing makeovers. The yanks kept that retro mustang theme going after 10 years and its starting to look tired. Not a ferrari, porsche or bmw fan for that reason too

Ummm, you forgot that EL went to AU (then AUII, AUIII) before the AU series morphed into the BA-BFs.

And EA was not a makeover of an XF, it was a new body altogether, along with EB/ED one of the best IMHO.

Retro Mustang, meh. I think Mustangs peaked in the 60's

Every now and then I get the fantasy of a 427 Camaro vs a Boss 429 Mustang vs a 426 Hemi Challenger.
