I for one agree with the original poster. I've seen the car in person, myself, several friends (male and female) and my dad all thought it was a step-backwards from the current style (appearance wise, there is no denying that the updated suspension etc. are top notch). The current style is aggresive yet has the "sexy curves", I would have loved to see progression not go back to a dated style. As far as all current companies going retro? Yea right. Look at the C6 Vette, now they nailed it right on the head! The car has retained much of it's heritage but has now gained this much more exotic look (and those words are straight from people at corvetteforum.com). It's moving forward, it has power mixed with sex-appeal, a winner IMO. Then you got the new Mustang, front-end is not bad but overall WAY too plain, like it or not the style is dated. It doesn't come close to the agressive looks of the original Fastbacks, yet lacks any modern looks... stick to one or the other, a classic car is a classic car and a modern car will one day be a classic. There's no denying that the hardcore mustang/drag racing enthusiasts are going to eat this one up, but unlike the new Vette I think it is leaving a big crowd out. (And of course 99% of the people HERE are going to love it... 1.it's a Mustang site filled with racers, 2. it's the 2005 forum)
