Last gen Mustang?

[8cyl]

Proof? What other proof do you need than the sales of current retro-design muscle cars? They're all in the shitter.

I love the classics, but the reason they sold so well is because they were unique and had their own identity. Staying retro in the 21st century is a mistake. Retro design is boxy, has sharp lines and is anything but aerodynamic. Then you get the stupid comparisons between the 2005+ and the Mustang I, as if those cars share anything in common.

How about creating a new legacy so that one day a future stang can resemble the 2015 cars instead of constantly exhuming a car that was laid to rest 50 yrs ago

How does the Challenger and Camaro being revived in the middle of the worst recession since the Depression constitute a 'dying breed'? :shrug:

I can say the only reason I haven't bought a newer Mustang was due to the lazy, unimaginative styling since '05, and I'm anxiously awaiting what the '15 offers us. I think a lot of people are in the same boat.

Agree with you guys that retro design has been long played out and lacking imagination. I'm amazed not all car manufacturers have realized this.

The 911 in all its iterations is pretty retro to start with. The same obviously can't be said of all generations of the Mustang, and I'm glad for it. If you want retro, you can now either buy a real classic (65) or a modern interpretation of it (05) with all new tech and without all of the maintenance headaches.

I'm glad Ford did this and can now move forward knowing it owes the people who love the original (and rightfully so) nothing more.

Yea but this is an even retroer retro. I dunno how porsche has done it for so long just changing a thing here and there every year but I don't think the mustang would even be alive today if it tried that approach.

Easy: A ton of electronics can make even a car with it's engine in the trunk handle well.

Camaro also going retro again for the next transformers, no idea why....
I really wonder if 18 year olds these days will be looking back at the 5th gen muscle cars in the same way or if it'll still be the same old rosy eyed appeal of the classics.
