As for the S197 Mustags being ugly in the outside, you really are reaching. If it were not for Ford going "retro" with the new Mustang, I doubt you would see a Challenger or, gasp, the Camaro as you have it now. There is a reason Ford drew its inspiration from the '60's; because those cars sold like hotcakes and are still considered the most desirable (and beautiful) pony car they ever built.
Now why would GM choose to take the same route as Ford and Dodge and create a new Camaro based on the classic bodystyle? Maybe because they know that is what will sell and compete with the other brands. (And I'm speaking in terms of sales, not performance.)
Holden did it right with the new Camaro, for the most part, which is why I plan to put one in the garage next to the GT500 in a year or so.

now normally, I'd be the first in line to bash a Mustang just because I enjoy the rivalry... but I have to agree with every single thing in this post... the 2010 model isn't better looking, it doesn't do anything new other than a couple of interior tweaks and the fact that the V6 looks better than the V8 should keep the V6 sales well above the V8 sales and keep the Mustang's crown as leader of the pack solidly in place.
in my opinion, the 2007-2009 Shelby GT500 is as close to perfection as the current Mustang gets... modifying the design with this BMW-esque front end and ugly taillights just doesn't do anything for me... I wish Ford the best of luck, since they need every sale just as much as GM does, but I believe they've hurt the brand more than they've helped the brand with the 2010 model.
