It's a decent looking car, but it doesn't really look powerful, like a Mustang should.

Ah, yes..."offensive". The favorite word of the pretentious.

Why is it hilarious? I think it's finally fitting that an unreliable car manufacturer like jaguar is finally owned by a company that most would likely think of as unreliable. It's a match made in heaven.

Big deal, are you still feeling the effects of British occupation? India and Pakistan probably came pretty damn close to nuking each other.

Edit: Not to mention the Mughals were pretty damn wealthy before the Brits showed up.

Yeah no kidding. Pretty crazy to think that the very car that chauffeured King George and his family around in British India in front of poor Indians is now owned by descendants of those same Indians.

I'm not a big Mustang fan but I think this one looks pretty decent. I will say my opinion softened quite a bit on Mustangs when I got to drive a brand new one last summer. Had a lot of fun just driving around in it for a day. I had been a steadfast "fuck mustangs" guy for years until then.

This looks very nice, reminds me of when Jaguar got rid of the retro bullshit while still keeping the essence.

The need to release this worldwide, it no longer has that All-American poser stigma.

They need to paint that rear diffuser black and move the goddamned start button. Other than that, it's fine.

You can't hold to nostalgia for too long, otherwise the formula becomes stale. It's a nice update that retains the Mustang's identity while adding some freshness to it.

Ford Europe has been involved in its design. The idea is to release the Mustang all over the world for the first time ever.

With a few tweaks to the front end to differentiate it more from the Fusion, I would actually be pretty gung-ho about the direction they are taking.

Even the V8? The only 6 cylinder engines that sound good enough to be in this type of car are built by Porsche :(

should have just taken this design and worked from there.

The V6 is pretty damn good in terms of specs.

I like it. Especially the grey convertible in the link.

My girlfriend and I just drove one (a 2013 convertible) down the Californian coast. It was fun to drive, had a much, much better turning circle than I thought it would, and did everything we asked of it. We had the teeny tiny (lawl) 3.7l engine, and it even had quite a bit of sprint in it when we loaded it up with cases (and I was amazed at how much we could fit into it).

That said, we drove about 2,000 miles in all, and averaged 22.9MPG... But fuck it, "gas" is so cheap in the US, it's worth it for the fun.

They really should have. Given that it's not for this earth much longer (RIP Falcon) Ford could've done far worse than taken some design cues from it.

Looks good. A little more curvy, which is long overdue. This whole retro muscle car thing has gotten tired.
And it sounds like they're finally really focusing on the handling.

Reminds me of my mom's old '70something Capri. I like that they didn't go overboard with lights and stuff, but that looks like a $20,000 car to me. Still prefer the Camaro.

People think the Camaro looks better than this? At least this isn't fucking Bumblebee.

I really liked the look of the new mustangs. But with this, they took away all the hard angles and straight lines to make it more smooth and curvy like most other cars now. Sucks.
