What is Ford Thinking??

The other day my boyfriend and I had the displeasure of seeing the new Ford Mustang and we couldn't hold back the giggles. Why Ford?? You had such a good thing going! The new mustang looked pretty bad ass with it's fast back style and mean look. But you've taken that and smushed up the back to the point where I'd be fearful of being made fun of for driving the "stink bug car" if i ever purchased one. And I probably wont. Mustangs aren't my thing really. I hate to sound like a snob but I'd rather not drive around in the "poor man's" muscle car. If I was going to shell out some money for a car it would be something it would be either gas friendly or fun.

But really? When the new body style came out around my junior year of high school, about 5 or 6 years ago, I saw a completely new car. It brought back the mean, muscle look of the late 60's that I loved so much. But this new look just doesn't cut it for me. What do you think? Here's a yellow 2007 with the normal body style, and then we've got the red angled up rear. The advertisement photo obviously is marketing it to sell so they've got the best angle possible. It looks much worse in person.

**Not to piss off any of you ford people. I know there is a HUGE following. Half of you sit in my section at work a couple times a month!! xoxo

Good grief Ford. I hope to God the new Mustang Cobra does not share the same body.....

New Mustangs suck. I don't really like the look of anything after the seventies.

Now, my 66 .... that's a whole 'nother story. :)
