Hey don't crap on the Fox Body! There are some minor design cues in the Fox that account for more than 0% DNA. It's also the reason we enjoy the huge aftermarket today, and even the Mustang at all (I believe Ford was gonna replace it with the Probe until enthusiasts took to the mid to late years of the Fox in droves.) But one of the coolest things about the Fox (to those of us in the cult) is that it carved out its own identity. As much as I love some of the 94-present mustangs they are all similar looking in their rounded modern body style, the Fox is completely and totally unique looking (and very 80s). But yes I get why some detest the Fox. Won't change how I feel about it, hence my screen name.

As for the people claiming the 2015 isn't mustang I think they're crazy. I also think they're obsessing on the headlights. I guess they've forgotten the 99-04 new edge headlights, which are quite similar?
I think a lot of people jumped on the wagon when the 2005 came out with the retro styling, which I do love, but it was time to evolve. I've had my 94 GT for 12 years and while the styling is a bit outdated, I still love it. I do agree that the front end was more of an evolution from the New Edge than from the 2014, which bothers a lot of people apparently...but who cares? It's about what I like, not what everyone else likes. If they want to jump on the Challenger and Camaro or something else wagon, go for it. I bleed Ford blue anyway...no bail-out motors for me...:ford:

I've had a love/hate with the Foxes for years, but it's a Mustang and I can still appreciate a good looking Fox any day....even if it's not my favorite generation of Mustangs :D

The new Camaro design got old quick, the interior sucks, and the new tailights make the rear look downright stupid IMO. The Challenger looks fantastic, but is a huge boat and not even in the same class as Mustang & Camaro anyway.
