@ Johnny,
OH SHUT UP ABOUT THE REAR END TAIL LIGHTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IT LOOKS A HELUVA LOT BETTER THAN THE STALE, FLAT, DESIGNLESS REAR END OF THE 05′s – 09′s.
YOU JUST DONT KNOW GOOD DESIGN.

I agree with Don; are they trying to copy the Camaro? Bad move; the Camaro got low marks for styling functionaity because the sill is too high and difficult to see out from the inside. Make it smaller and lower on the outside, but keep a hint of the rear lines; shave off some more weight!

Some of you guys are either smokin something or are working for Ford and just don’t want to have to change the rear end….(taking this way too serious too so just calm down) The rear end/tail lights never looked so whimpy in all the years of Mustangs. The 05-09 at least was bold if simple and not girlie/euro like the current version.

I agree with the Camaro comment and put it on a diet and keep it slimand low to the ground,thecurrent stang is ok but why don’t they mix the style of SN95 and the S-197 and I’d bet they’d come with a Champion Stang!!!…

Tired of the complaining about the tailights if you like the 05-09 then go buy one. As long as the mustang can be distinguished as a mustang and still is easy chepa power IM Fine

“based on an new smaller, global platform”….this is what concerns me! The Mustang design has always been uniquely American. Now the Stang has to appeal to a more Global, fuel concerned, audience. We might as well all drive Focus’. I agree that the Stang needs to evolve though.

The 05 – 09 Mustangs have been the best looking stangs since the 64 1/2 – 72 Stangs, which is the basis of the 05-09 retro look. This got us back to the Mustang Roots. The 10+ look like eurotrash because of the backend.
I have owned three stangs in my life, a 72 Grande (351 C 4bbs), 86 LX 5.0, and my 08 GT, which I will keep as it is truly a classic.
Ford needs to stick with its roots, and stay away from Mustang II styling and the Fox body. This rendering is definitely not an American Muscle car… might as well have had Mitsubishi design it…
The S197 style should be widened slightly, keep the lines get back to the 05-09 backend, and crank the HP up as is being suggested… And NO four bangers!

I am a little confused as what to do I am looking to purchase a 12 mustang, but now with this design changing as it might I don’t want my car to be old immediately!! Any guidance given would very much be appreciated. Never owned a mustang before and I am 57 yrs. Old?

Steve – just wait until the 2013 Mustang debuts at the L.A. Auto Show in a couple months. If you like the design better, get a 2013. If not, go for a 2012 model as there should still be plenty left at dealers.

How ignorant. Obviously, the 05-09 Mustang took it’s design cues from the 64-67 era Mustangs, but then again, so did the 10-12. The emphasized front fender ridge and rear fender “hip” are both taken from this generation. Want to talk about “euro” influence, the flattened fender openings are straight from Ford’s “new edge” design, and that is STRONGLY euro. The rear end redesign was a response to the OBVIOUS need to do something about that slab. Almost every 05-09 stang you see on the road has some sort of rear deck panel mod on it, so apparently not too many were enthralled with it. The 10-12 rear end is a direct carryover of the concave ’69 stang, and it looks great. Most if not all automotive reviewers rated the latest model as THE BEST LOOKING MUSTANG EVER!

It doesn’t matter what it looks like. Most owners will stick so many gee jaws, emblems, scoops, louvers and spoilers that it will look just like every Mustang has since the ’90s.
