Looks good.

Does it have the performance to back it though?

I really like it. Best looking Mustang :)

Would like one in the old US Int'l racing colors of Blue racing stripes over a white body like the original Shelby GT 350's.

Almost as good as my dearly departed 93 midnight blue LX 5.0 'vert.

That car is plain-jane.  I wouldn't pay more than 10,000 for it.

You be the judge:
Quote
Based on an all-new, fully modern body structure and chassis system featuring advanced MacPherson struts and a three-link live axle with Panhard rod, Mustang boasts an overall ride sophistication unmatched by any of its ancestors. Its braking and handling are nothing short of world class.
It produces all the tire-smoking power the rear wheels – and most drivers – can handle, with a better-breathing 300-horsepower, 24-valve MOD V-8 (That’s over 50 percent more power than delivered by the fiery, small-block 289-cubic-inch V-8 found under the hood of the classic 1964 model) or 200-horsepower SOHC V-6 engine.
With power comes responsibility, and the new Mustang takes occupant protection to a new level. A stout safety cage, Ford’s Personal Safety System™ with passenger weight-sensing technology, available side air bags and a front structure designed for demanding offset impacts, provide drivers and passengers with the most comprehensive protection ever offered in a muscle car.
What’s more, all this unrivaled driving excitement will continue to come at an attainable price. Mustang will remain the best performance car for under $20,000, and the most affordable 300-horsepower car made today.

I don't think any American car has beaten the classic Mustangs for looks. This looks alot better than the recent Mustangs - they always seemed so sterile and uninspired.

Thats not much different than the trouble people have in picking succesful stocks or winning lottery numbers.

grun... It wasn't hard to see that the big healeys would endure or that the 55-57 Chevy would or the 55-60 vette or the chevelle/gto of the sixties or the 67-69 camaro or...

the only way that most of the newer cars will become sought after classics is if they start putting estrogen in the drinking water.

But you are saying thaty with 50 years of hindsight.  What about the mustangs from the late 1980s? I used to think they were awfully ugly, but I have seen some nicley cleaned up ones and they aint so bad. maybe people wlll feel nostalgia for them, and they will become classics.

Oh my, that is a nice looking stang. But the cheap looking dashboard near the heating controls, and the ultra-cheap looking plastic on the outside rear-view mirror detract from the overall appearance.

Other than that, it looks like a honey.
