You seem to be in the minority. Most people I have spoken to really like it ...

Some of you chuckleheads are something else. There's a conspiracy behind every corporate move you Michael Moore biatches.

Corporations move people around every two years to give the employee variety of experience and challenge. The performers keep rising while the dumbf....s move laterally or disappear.

Can't wait to see the 'Tang Cobra!

I like when the designers take ques from classics. But the new mustang, in person, is just ugly. The entire rear end is just bad, way to high too.

It looks good in photos, but if I wanted a late 60's fastback, I'd buy one.

Question

are all the people that purchase them, buying them sight unseen, or are they sitting on dealer lots collecting dirt?

Gonna have to disagree...I like 'em. They look much better than the last 3 body styles...

The front clip is awesome. The rear leaves something to be desired....

This just in from autoextremist.com:

Hau Thai-Tang, the man who led the engineering development of the new 2005 Mustang, will assume the responsibilities of Director, Advanced Product Creation and Special Vehicle Team (SVT) for Ford. Prior to his new role, Thai-Tang has been involved with some of Ford's hottest cars, including the launch of the 2001 Mustang GT, Mustang Cobra and Bullitt Mustang GT models. He also worked on the Lincoln LS. Thai-Tang's Ford experience also includes an assignment in Germany, as well as working with Ford Racing. He joined Ford in 1988 as a Ford College Graduate trainee. To further strengthen SVT's role in the company, Thai-Tang will report directly to Phil Martens, group vice president, Product Creation. John Coletti continues as director of the Special Vehicle Team and will report to Thai-Tang. "The appointment of Hau to this role further cements the importance of SVT to Ford," Martens said. "As Mustang fans now know, Hau and his team did a fabulous job bringing the all-new 2005 Mustang to life," Martens added. We wish Hau well, and we expect great things from Ford in the future because of his appointment.

Thumbs up

I think that they are very nice. Based on the review by Car & Driver they are pretty quick too. 0-60 in 5.2sec and the 1/4 in 13.7 not bad, that is a good platform to work with.

To all those PC people who are freaking out -- lighten up. It's just a joke. I'm sure Mr. Poo Thai-Tang will do just fine.
