Whats up with the louvers on the hood.
The louvers are functional to help ventilate the engine compartment.

They made a commercial specifically for gay men that involved the Camaro....

But all the stereotypes that make up the Muscle Car Purchasing Demographic got all freaked out by it so GM got YouTube to pull it......

This is at no way pointed at the majority of the people on this site as most of you seem to be level headed, however if your sister is your mother as well as your baby mama then I am talking to you.....

Nope no "guy secretarie" commercials that im aware of from Chevrolet. Girl ones yes but no guy ones but I guess your joking lol.

Well they did FINALLY fix the back tail lights on the new Stang but the front is still hideous and looks cross eyed to me from certain angles. And also one thing I cant stand about the Mustangs and never have are how cheap looking the rear view mirrors on the sides of them look. They are mostly plasticky looking with not much color on some while the Camaros are edgy triangular shaped and at least are the same color of the car without any ugly black plastic showing.

Bottom line- Another slow year for Mustang sales. I predict their sales not getting any better until the new 6th Gen Mustang.

I prefer the '10-'12 front more than the '13+. I like the new LED tails though. I also don't like the new body kit (especially below the doors, rocker panel). I think the previous GT's had a simple black textured kit. The new body colored kit stands out too much and doesn't flow well with the car.

You know Ford just needs a newly designed Mustang, they have been tweaking this platform since 2005, it just looks tired. IMO the new front end on the GT just looks terrible, even worse than the 11/12 models. I'm not sure if they have tweaked the rear view of the car but it does look a bit better, or maybe it is growing on me.

Definitely looks like a dodge to me. Front end of a srt8 charger and wheels too.

It's funny how they tried to copy the synergy green. It looks like a improvement though, it isn't easy to polish a turd.

They did do commercials aimed at gay men. It's a smart move for a company to aim at all demographics to sell their product and make money.

People in this forum might hate Ford but I will say I had some of the best times in my life in a Ford. This is what I rolled around in when I was in high school 1989-1992....

Kinda how Chevy copied Snakeskin Green & Sublime Green from Dodge eh??





Stop it.

The Mustang is a damn good looking car IMO. Better than the Camaro and even better than the Challenger now that its starting to get dated...
