Color me underwhelmed.

I never liked the 'corral' surrounding the horse logo on the grille, and I've always hated the 1/4 window louvers on Mustangs. Don't like them on '65-'66s and I don't like them here. Come to think of it, I've never really been crazy about the '65-'66 Mustangs to begin with (with the exception of the GT350). I see what they tried to do with the wheels, but it doesn't do anything for me, and the white paint makes it look dull and bloated.

I was kinda hoping Ford would make a 50th anniversary edition that would amount to more than just a couple of tacked-on psuedo-retro bits (which IMO work on the current S197 cars, but here, not at all) like I see here, or some lame badges, but it looks the cynic in me was right again. Chalk up another unworthy anniversary edition for the Mustang.

That Guard gray looks fantastic, though. Compliments the lines of the 2015 far better than white, in my opinion.
