Just get out there and get some American V-8 while you still can!

I got mine!

Fustang.

Fustang. 

the only thing that looks like a fusion is the upper grill opening and that opening shape is on almost every car Ford currently makes.  With the lower grill and splitter it looks nothing like a fusion in person. Pictures really don't do these cars justice. The sharp lines throughout the body just look fantastic in person. You can't please everyone I guess. I am happy with my purchase.

Fustang. 

Strongly disagree.

I guess the time when ford owned aston martin had an influence on the shape of the more recent mustangs.

It's basic shape reminds me of a generations old Aston Martin V8 vantage.............which, of course, was influenced by late 60s mustangs...........which were influenced by the early 60s aston martins.

I think ford did right on the roofline and basic shape and hope they don't turn the front end into a lexus "electric razor" grille setup.

Me in my SRT Skyline Drive.  Note:   no extension cord.  And by the way can you say big block?

I prefer the sound of a HEMI rumbling, not the sound of a whirring electric razor thank you.

And by the way, thanks for plugging in!  Saves more 93 octane for me...........and skip the ethanol please.

Actually, the designer of the new Ford lineup was the lead designer at Aston Martin.

I think the new Mustang is the best looking Mustang Ford has ever produced.  If it was not so big, I would have one in a heartbeat.

By FAR the best-looking of the three pony cars. Hoping to upgrade to the Hemi, but seems I'm on a time-limit.

What blasphemy is this? Give me a First Gen in a heartbeat. You can keep your Eurostang.

Saxman do not despair!  Word has it they are coming out with a factory 900HP version!

You will have plenty of time!  900HP for the street a bit much for me.  Even the SXTs have 300HP V6s'.

The key is the look of the challenger, it's timeless.  When you watch TV, which of the 3 (Camaro, Mustang and Challenger) do you see most?

[Ripsnort]

We've had the worst luck with Fords except for the truck line.
We traded our (then new) 1999 Ford Explorer in in 2005 for a new Mustang.
Both of these vehicles had major transmission repair bills awaiting them UNDER 120k miles and they were both automatics and both driven by my wife.

We went from Ford to Toyota and BMW and never looked back at another Ford again.
With that said, I've never had any issues with Ford Trucks I've owned over the years (1981, 1991, 1997) All were solid performers with no major issues however two of the three were manual trannys.

I see whoever quoted the producers of said programs the most free autos to get their advertisement in.

No Rip.....by consensus they are the best looking of the newer American muscle cars.  Producers want eye candy.

Google the awards that the Challenger has won since its' inception in 2008.  More then the Chevy or Ford.

That's a fact Jack! 

[SilverZ06]

I like the challenger and would have bought one if it weren't so damn heavy. Even my mustang is too heavy for my liking but it is lighter than those pigs. I can't wait to get out the local auto x next month.

SilverZ06.  In reality I like all cars.  I had opportunity to purchase an 89 C4 that was stored in a heated garage during winters.  Needed very little work.  Exterior is
beautiful, interior was rough.  I bought it because my brother liked GM. He is about to retire and he needed imho something like this to enjoy with my sister-in-law.
Only 84K miles, frame and exterior pristine....everything was but the leather which was easily refurbed, replaced injectors and rebuilt the flip up lights.

It's now a beautiful Vette.  Refurbed the interior and it is now my brothers warm weather weekend cruiser.  It's a 6 speed also.  He insisted that he purchase the car from me
even though I gave it to him.  Heck....he's my brother.  He was very insistent.....I caved and sold it to him.  He was bordering on being angry because I purchased it and
just gave it to him.  I would rather he be happy of course.

My blood however runs MOPAR blue and always will.
