That is a sweet car .... Most of you will say its nasty because your so in love with Honda, but come on, this car is nice ...If I hadn't just bought a car, and it was coming to Canada (and the price was right) I would likely have to seriously look at this vehicle ...WOW

Rep Power: 0 I don't like it. Its too retro-styled. It looks like a modernized version of the old look, not original at all. The US is catching on to the retro trend when its already starting to go out of style.
I do admit its tastefully done, but if it looks so much like the older one, why not just get the original one instead? I think the original mustang looks better up front. The side and rear of the mustang's very nice, looks very muscular and original. The front's too contrived.

Nice design overall, but for some reason, I still can't bring myself to like those headlights.

Damn, if it weren't for my previous experience owning a Mustang, I'd start saving up now..........
only thing i don't like is the red dash-that's a little too bright for me.
edit: after a closer look, it seems like ford took the chassis from their Aston Martin division........I wanna say the Vanquish, but I'm not too sure on that one.

edit: just took another look at the specs, and this doesn't look right at all......
Final-drive ratio 2.24:1 <---------Either that's a typo, or Ford ****ed up big time on this one(that wouldn't surprise me either). I've always thought Mustangs had weak transmissions, but that just blows my mind..............

Rep Power: 0 I'd go for that...the styling is right on the money I think...every curve speaks volumes of it's history...
That's considered a fastback right?

Rep Power: 375 ???? Some of that doesn't make sense. Ford JUST came out with the Cobra SVT that's SC'd and fast as hell. There's no way in hell that now EVERY GT is going to be SC'd and making 400hp. They'd be shooting themselves in the foot and ruining their SVT sales. Especially because this GT probably is going to be the same price or so.
It'd be like Honda coming out with a hatchback Civic Type R JUST AFTER they came out with the new Si. They'd sell NO Si's at all. (yes i know they are having a hard time selling them right now)

Rep Power: 0 well dude, its not going to be released untill late 04 - early 2005. I think that would allow them to sell every one of the limited production cobras.
