Motor Trend production 05 Mustang pictures
Got the new issue of motor trend, all i can say is wow. Man this car is gonna rule. I can't wait to see one in person, the look is so different than anything else coming out. I really like it.
could do without the blue seats
mad retro gauges. you can change the colors, cool stuff.

Rep Power: 0 I saw this on one of the car shows on Spike tv... it was awesome. They were showing mostly the concept, which is 95% of what the production model would be, though it was a 2-seater with a lower stance. The Cobra version is going to have something like 550+ horses... And it's supposed to stay in the affordable price range. I would drive it in a minute.

Rep Power: 0 Ford has gone the retro route which is unique and pretty cool. The guages can be changed to over 10 colors of your choice.
On a side note, Ford and GM are making a big comeback with cars. Some examples are the Ford Futura, GM Cobalt (direct competition to the Civic and any other Sport Compact Car). The colbalt replaces the 20 year old J-body Cavalier. It also has the option of a supercharger (totally cool)

Rep Power: 0 I didn't like the Ford GT, or even most domestic cars for that matter but this car looks really really nice. Has the beefyness of late 60's/early 70's cars a la the charger. Definitely a step in the right direction.
The biggest mistake they made though was not releasing the Ford 49. Dangit that was one of the nicest designs ever.

Rep Power: 286 I like the retro look. Are they going to get rid of that awful v6 they have in the cheap base model stangs out now?
Obviously the SVT will rule, but my problem with mustangs has always been that cheap v6 version.

the zo6 is expected to have 500 hp, to compete with the viper, i doubt the cobra will have that much power though cause they built the GT40 to compete in that class.
The GT has 310hp so the cobra will probably have 440?

Rep Power: 335 Doesn't look too bad, but it looks like a poor attempt to make it look like the classic style.
2 ways I would own 1. .
a. I win it.
b. I'm driving a car that's quick enough to OWN it.

Rep Power: 0 Cool car.. The late 60's mustang (which i guess they're trying to copy with this one) was always my fav look for a stang. Don't like the seats tho.

Rep Power: 270 I like the short shifter, the dashand the foglights. But I hate the fact that they're still using the same stereo. It would be cool if you could put fuel through the rear. I wonder how the SVT,Saleen, and Rousche version's will look like. Oh and the convertible.

Rep Power: 0 yeah, I wish they didn't make the V6 version either, but it is marketing. Some people don't care about the speed or sound of the V8. They supposedly did some big time testing in exhaust note to make sure it was perfect, which is what GM did with the GTO exhaust. The dash colors are available in 140 colors, or that's what I heard from Autoweek. I love the foglights, but they could be smaller. It speaks heritage to me.

Rep Power: 0 I'm a little torn about it's styling. If I wanted a car that looked old... I'd buy an old car. It would be cheaper and cooler to restore an old one anyway.
As a one time Mustang owner (88 GT with some mods) I think I'll have to wait until I see it in person. Then I'll make up my mind.

Rep Power: 0 I still think it is a nice change, Ford did a really nice job reverting back to RETRO styling but still keeping the car up to date and looking fresh. I for one will actually think about getting one of these as my next ar if something happens to the civic, I like the looks of it.
