I like the car, But I hate the tell lights looks like some is missing... The front looks like a 1969 mustang I which is great... And has anyone seen the new Cobras like the 1964.. I've just seen a little bit of the car can't wait to see them...

The fake gas cap is cheesy but overall I think they did a great job on the styling- roofline kinda looks like a II...

Just got back from the Toronto International Auto Show. I was there whore-in Kia and Honder WeatherTech floormats and other yuppie fluff. I escaped from our booth to see the new Mustang in person. Maybe because it is Canada? Ford brought a rental car Taurus blue Mustang with ugly wheels to the show? It needs to be lowered, The tail panel would look good with a honey comb insert or some black paint. The quarter window needs something?
Other then that it was love at first sight, since I have a Mustang already and I am getting old (29) I would perfer the T-Bird Just have to wait 5 years for it to rapidly depreciate and collect 200000km before I can buy one

P.S Am I the only one who didn't know Ford had a new Freestyle and a 500??? mid size wagon/sedans????

I want a new T-bird, but the 78 Mach 1 still has 29 more payments to go. Plus it needs Edelbrock heads, 16" Superlite wheels, Falken Azenis, Baer brakes......sounds like another 3 years of payments to me The T-bird will be good, used and cheap by then!

that's a scary thought to be making payments on a II, I guess lucky for me the II's I bought were one payment, it sure is nice to have people come to you selling cars though for less than a grand.

It is all about having the proper priorities. I have $20000 invested in a car I drive 5000km a year (The Mach) and $1000 tied-up in the car I drive 55000km a year (Mazda 323)

Holy moly, you have 20k invested in your Mach! My wife would maul me to death with a pitman arm if I were to do that.
