I'll go ahead and give a review at first glance.

The seats look great.
The forward dash looks as cheap as always.
The center console doesn't match the forward dash.
The key fob is attractive.
The tail lights are a mistake.
The headlights look great.
The tail end looks almost exactly the same as the current model.
That gold is ugly.
They should have kept the current wheels over these.
That glass roof is awesome.
I like the GT tail logo. It isn't changed enough to make the new one better than the old.
Normal cars don't have acne on their spoilers. What is that bump?
The interior aspects of the door are great.
The upper dash looks very nice. This was a necessary improvement.
The center dash looks like a luxury car, not a performance car.
That B-pillar has to create the largest blind spot I've ever seen.
The gauges are awesome.
The steering wheel is very attractive.
The lower forward grill is very aggressive.
The foglights are poorly integrated into the grill.
The grill sticks out awkwardly between the headlights.
The rearview mirror is very simple. I don't like buttons on them.
For 2009, it costs over $30k for a Premium. I said this about the Camaro, too.
It has 315 hp. That's terrible in comparison to the domestic competition.
No IRS makes the handling inferior to direct competitors.
The V6 is impotent compared to domestic and imported competition.
I haven't witnessed the sound system.
The aftermarket for the Mustang is very strong.
Before the aftermarket, Ford offers supercharger kits and other parts to support it.
It weighs less than the domestic competition.

Overall, I feel that it is as good as the current Mustang, which I don't hate but still feel is impotent in comparison to the Challenger and the Camaro.
