I think the new edges don't get as much credit as they should. While I am absolutely in love with my 05 mustang I have to admit that the new edge design might be the best design Ford ever made. When I first got my 2000 mustang the feeling I got everytime I saw it was far greater than the feeling I get when I see my 05.. maybe it's my age. And maybe 5 years later after seeing the same car everyday I got used to the new edge body style and it didn't do it for me anymore.... but almos t2 years later after getting rid of teh car, looking back, I have to give Ford props. I really loved that design, it had such a slick and mean look to it. I almost miss my 2000 now. I think Ford will have a tough time topping their 99-04 body style come redesign and innovative time. (PS I Don't count the s197 as a totally new body style due to its retro look... it's a halfway new body style to me but I still think its great :)

Yeah I agree that the new edge body style was great. But I just
can't seem to get aways from the new retro look. I suppose it just depends on
your preference. I wish I new what they were gonna do next. I don't like either of them
more or less. I think I like both of them the same.

Yep i think my 00 looks way better than the 05, but once in a while i see picture of some nasty S197s ...it just take a bit more modding and money to get them to look mean.

My DD is a 2001 SN95 and on any given day the only way I can tell which one I like best is if I feel like driving a manual or an auto. To me, they're both AMERICAN IRON.

I had a 2002 GT Vert... black on black on black... nice car... looked good... Then I seen The Mistress... I immediately feel in love with the styling!!! The S197 styling gave me goosebumps!!! LOL! In my mind the 02 was nice... but the S197 (sans fog lights! LOL!) was drop dead gorgeous!!

I favor the S197's, but if the 2009 Stang comes out looking like the pic below, I'll prefer it.

No offense to new edge fanatics, but when I first told my gf that I was going to buy a Mustang, she kept telling me that it's a girl's car and she doesnt like them. I told her over and over, "have you seen the new stangs? I bet you're thinking of the old one." Sure enough, she likes the new body style and was like "phew, the old ones look like girl cars."

2009 Concept




I realize that's just one person's estimate of what they will look like, but I hope they're right. That'll look great next to my 2005 convertible!

The bulge in the rear is what really need to be brought back with the new stangs. They have it in the new charger and I love it there...

That creatingthelie.com guy is amazing. I love what he's done to the new Charger. With the retro hide-away lights... it's just so retro. That's how it should have been.

I have to agree, bring back the hip atop the quarters and a bit of buldge back there. Now this is mean looking, to me anyways..
