I like it. BTW those little ridges and creases in the body add strength to the panels and allows the use of thinner and lighter materials.

I like it, but have always been a fan. See a tiny bit of Aston Martin in the snout.

Like. A lot. The performance versions will be very tempting. Brembos, suspension upgrade, the coyote engine with all forged moving parts inside etc. guessing like 450+ HP, all independent, big tires, wheels etc. considering the layout, high tech V8 etc does it make anyone else think.....yea, that's what a 928 would be today if still made one?

It would be interesting to see a revival of the original Trans Am series now the three big players all have decent and similar cars.

The Cobra's have had IRS. Most notably the 03-04 Cobra (Terminators), pushing over 400hp.

I like it! I think it's a fresh take on a classic.

I think it looks good. They finally got rid of the retarded fake gas cap.

Looks good to me.

Nice to see the Americans really stepping up their performance offerings these last couple years.

I wonder if they'll call the EcoBoost model an SVO?

I don't think this is true at all...

An overwhelming majority of my mustang owner/fan friends (I have dozens) absolutely hate the 2015. I'm not much of a stang fan, but I love it and want one.
