Hey! That GT badge is the same we're (Australia) already using on our Falcon GT! Exact same design.

I prefer to see it a little differently: the Mustang GT does not share the badge with the falcon, it shares it with the Ford GT.

Ok..after spending alot of time going thru the pictures, im going to give my opinion on the new design.

1) Exterior- I don't like the front end, it seems to be a little longer and I don't like the way the front fascia is. The lights/fogs, grill, pony all don't seem right to me. The front end reminds me of a sad puppy. I def. like the car from the side though, looks very nice. I also like the back end, except without a wing. The tires don't seem to be wide enough though, so im sure with wider tires and a drop the rear-end will look awesome.
2) Interior- Even though it is verry classy and looks to be very high-quality, there is too much going on. I would prefer an all black interior w/only the chrome air-conditioner vents. I think they spent too much time on the interior though. Also, the speakers protrude out way too much. But all in all, it's very classy and high-quality, but it would have been nicer if it were a little "tamer"
3) Engine-It's faster than the previous GT, so nothing wrong with that. Im guessing 13.5's @ 103.
4) Everything Else- it's def. going to offer a better ride and as general a better car than previous versions, so I guess we do have a winner. Only if the front end was nicer and the interior wasn't as flashy .

All in all, this is MY opinion. Im sure some of you won't agree....but I thought I'd share my 2-cents.

We've really gone back to the sixties haven't we? Notice how kind of blah the red car looks in the real world photo? I mean even at the low angle the pic was taken it says "Hi I'm a rental car! Spend 5,000 on a kit and I might look as good as a Corvette!" C'mon I'm gonna wait for a special edition or a tuner version. Nothing exciting here except the all new chassis.

Ditto, but I don't really want to pass judgment until I see it in person. I've disliked a car in a photo before then after seeing in person I liked it.

I'm dissapointed that they didn't have any '05 Stangs at the LA Auto Show this weekend when I went. I'm not too crazy about the retro look, I like to see more modern designs. but I must say when I saw the GT-40 at the Auto show yesterday in person, the retro look didn't seem to bother me.
