I have never been a Ford fan (raised GM), and have always disliked Mustangs (with the exception of Shelby GT500's), but I have to say, I love the looks of the next Mustang.

If I were a Ford guy, I would pick it up as fast I as we are all trying to get our Camaros. I would have to get it with the full window top option though.

But still I really doubt that Ford will give the new Camaro any big challenge. I am sure that it will go to independent suspension, and of course a power upgrade (im going to guess around 420ish to TRY to keep up with SRT8s and LS3 Camaros). Maybe if both Mustang and Challengers have 420+hp Automatics, then Chevy will give the 2011 year Automatic SS's the LS3 also, and make the L99 as an option for LT and SS.

Also, I am wondering what the Shelby's are going to look like. The 2010 Mustang doesnt look like it is a visual platform that suits Shelby, but who knows.

What is Everyone elses opions on the Italian design Mustang, and do you think Shelby will be able to make their GT500's look unique compared to real mustangs, yet still look...well put-together?

Try to put your GM biases aside, I know it's hard, but try anyways.
