Will a restyled Ford Mustang alienate Boomers?

I don't have a great feeling about this...What do y'all think?

Speaking as a Baby Boomer, I can say that I support the advances in modern automotive technology. Today's mustangs have more power, better brakes, steering and handling. And today's sound systems are infinitely better than the older models. A lot of boomers will argue that they prefer the styling of the mustangs from the muscle car era of the mid 60's to early 70's, but I actually appreciate the modern styling. See, you can teach an old dog new tricks. The only thing I don't like is paying $60k+ for a mustang. But I guess you get what you pay for.

Ya... they were talking about this in the WSJ yesterday. Just have to wait and see I guess. The car will no doubt be a performer. But will it look good?

I would also very much expect a IRS (finally) to become the norm.

I'm all for advances in technology and performance but the styling is what has me a little bit nervous. I guess we'll have to wait and see...

Don't like it. Keep more of the styling of the mustang in it.

If it looks anything like that euro ricer evos concept I'm out. I'll thank god I got one that still looks like a mustang.

Im going to hold judgement. Love technology and times change, I may or may not change with it. Glad I bought my '10 when I did

They just don't learn do they? Think Mustang II and when they were going to replace it with a high performace Probe. If they don't head towards a Corvette or Lambo, it will blow up in their face.

Ugh. I swear I sure hope this is all spin and rumors.............

it is. ford wont murder their flag ship car. it would be a disaster for the company image wise

That's a bad ass looking ride. Looks very Aston Martin ish. That said if I were a ford design rep if redo the rear (looks way too cossover-ish) or make it a 4door with the shelby 500 drive train and compete with the 4 door supercars. I'd drop some coin on that.

For a mustang not so much. I have talked to Barrett a while back. He's telling me that front end is what ford is basing mist of their cars on.

Does for still own Aston?


New fusion...front end look familliar
