I can't honestly say I saw a difference in the 2011 and the 2010.
I'm not a fan of the huge plastic engine cover on the 5.0. I think the Camaro's has a nicer looking engine compartment. The additional 1.2L's don't hurt either.
Plus, the lines on the Camaro are more appealing to me as well. The rear of the Mustang is just God Awful. It's like they have run out of original ideas and desided to just stretch the back out and call it a day. (Yes, I realize that there are other changes, again the 2011 looks just like the 2010)
Alas the Mustang was written off.

Pretty good assessment. I agree on the Mustang styling, especially the rear. I think the Mustang has a great side profile, but they need to do something to the front and rear to make it have a more aggressive look. The fake hood scoop doesn't help.
I preferred the previous gen Mustang's looks with the big Elanor fog lights up front and that flat rear with the bigger spoiler option.
I really like the Mustang interior though. Everything felt of quality and was nicely laid out. It also won't be dated too quickly either as it's not faddish. It is a bit cramped though, and I'm not a big guy. The Challenger is heavier, but dang it's like sitting in a lazy boy cruising down the hwy LOL.
