Default You know, I had written off the Mustang...

...but the 2010 update might make me change my mind.

I never really loved the retro look of the latest car, but somehow the slight changes they made (especially on the rear-end) has really made it look like a modern evolution of the classic car rather than a retro-modern car. Plus they *finally* put a nice interior in there!

Chances are, I'd drop the money on a new STi instead of a Mustang GT, but I'll be damned if I don't like this GT.

It's clearly the best-looking Stang for a very, very long while.

Agree. Looks good. Too bad nobody will buy it because they will be in chapter 11 bankruptcy.

Yeah, Ice even wrote a song about his 5.0 with the rag top down, so that his hair could blow.

I think you need to be female and have '80's hair to be driving a 5.0 with the top down. Wait....

I still think everything since the redesign in the 2000's it looks like a plastic Hot Wheels car. Not nearly as bad now but still..
