Where I came from growin' up, it was cool to "jack up" the rear end of your ride and put big tires on the back... looked cool back in the 70's (yeah, I'm that old). Kinda like you were ready for a drag race at any moment. This would raise the back end tail lights of those old stangs, camaros, 'cudas, roadrunners, novas, etc a good 6"-12" higher than the norm.
Anyway, I was thinking the other day that the back end of the new 'stangs kinda look like someone jacked up the rear end like the old days. It's kinda' retro in an odd way.
Looking at it from that standpoint, it's not as bad. Still not my favorite, but better. Kinda' like when some guys (NOT me!) used to hang a second muffler off the back end of their car to make it look like they had dual exhaust when they didn't.
