    Anybody Think The New Mustang Looks Ugly?

    I agree wholeheartedly. You know...it really says something in the first place when people are debating about whether a car is ugly or not. I remember my Dad and uncles arguing about the looks of the Edsel, when Ford tried to pass that off on the public as modern and sleek...but at least it was...

    Anybody Think The New Mustang Looks Ugly?

    Yeah...you're right about the gov regs. But emission changes in 72 didn't amount to much...and I can't really blame the gov for trying to do something about smog because it was killing people in big cities(Ozone depletion wasn't even an issue then) . I always had a problem with across the board...

Truth is I'm still pissed about something Ford did 44 years ago and I can't seem to let it go...but it wasn't just Ford. All 3 American manufacturers are responsible for ending the classic muscle car era in '72 with...

    Anybody Think The New Mustang Looks Ugly?

    Thanks for the polite response. No...I haven't actually seen it in person. But there are a few things the pictures show that wouldn't be any different: The long wrap around pointy headlights...while I was driving around yesterday I was looking and noticed about 20 Japanese cars with very similar...

    Anybody Think The New Mustang Looks Ugly?

    Just when I though Mustang had gotten back on the right track...I hate it almost as much as the ridiculous turtle designs Ford went with in the 70's. I was so glad when they brought back the classic 69/70 design...here we go again with some idiot's idea about trying to look like everyone else to...
