This has been a common consensus among most of the Stang fans I know, actually. Even my mom MUCH prefers her 05 to any 2010 or 2011 on the road (visually, of course! ).

Personally, I love the new look! The rear end I'm more indifferent than anything, but the front end on the 10 and 11, I'm in LOVE with. I always thought the S197's looked great, but the noses were just HUGE. I love the new 'slim' look of the front ends.

I liked the 2010 rear ever since it came out. Overall the whole car just seems a bit tighter all around than the 2005s.

Who are you? Good to see you my friend!

I also prefer the gen-1 S197's myself. It takes me awhile to warm up to things however.

Fox = boxy straight lines
sn95 = curvy rounded lines
new edge = boxy straight lines
s197 = boxy straight lines
10+ = curvy rounded lines

from what i've seen, most of us sn95 guys love the new style. personally i'm not that much of a fan of the 05s, the new ones are where its at. i loved the 10s since the first time i laid eyes on them. The back end is meh but thats its only detractor. I do find it funny though that the tail lights from the 10+ are now being made to fit into the 05 cars and they are selling decently at AM.

I didn't like it when I first saw it but it has grown on me. I love the front end though, it makes it look meaner.

I love everything about the 10+ EXCEPT the back end. I can deal with the tail lights, but the angle of the rear looks so wrong to me. Instead of leaning forward, it should be straight up & down like our cars. Then the 10+ would be perfect to me.

We were behind one yesterday and my dad said it looked like ****. I was like nah it's fine. It does have a different look that's for sure. It kinda reminds me of the 67 rear end
