Can't say I'm liking the new styling

Exterior looks like a half step backwards mid-cycle refresh

Not an improvement.  What were they thinking?

Don't like much of it, especially the rear quarter panels.

I can't even see it because nobody posted a picture of it so it must be terrible.

It's lost the intimidation factor.

Oof. Yeah, not a big fan. I bet it looks cool in person, but it'll probably be 2-3 years before I see one up here in BFE.

Huh? Same damned car, esp. chassis and motors - and doesn't even look as good as the outgoing car. Interior looks nicer however but come on, why even bother?

SJ_GTI

It looks good IMHO. Camaro is still better looking though.

Man, remember the days when a base Mustang was a depressingly slow POS with like 19hp?  What a time we're in.

This era reminds me a lot of the '60s, before the malaise set in.  The '70 Boss 302 that I test drove can't really compete with what's available now but, for the time, it was magic.

I wish they would have put this power train into something like a well balanced sports sedan

Right. Ford's gonna suddenly build a "well balanced sports sedan" in the age of bread-and-butter CUVs.

Or, simply a less "hairy machismo" pony car. Like what the Mercury Cougar was at one time.
Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?

Lincoln could have been a success like Cadillac with the approach

The only reason Cadillac is a success is because of the Escalade.

Looks like reviews dropped.

I'll give praises just for the fact they are not killing it and still giving the world a V8 and manual... Not a fan of the styling or all the digital screen shit in a car like this though.

intriguing. More exciting than a stripe and trim special model.

You can get a similar rear suspension for a 60's Mustang for a bit cheaper than $300k.

Very cool car though, much better than the dumb mid-engine Mustang rumor that sprung up a few days ago.
