It's not a "bad" thing, it's just getting away from what a Mustang is really about. BMW's are great drivers cars but they are completely different type of car than a Mustang is. If I wanted a BMW, I'd go buy one.

I have to agree, seems to lose the nostalgia. Also for the irs people will just be breaking the half shafts again.

I think Ford will still keep the nostalgia and muscle/pony car feel. I seriously doubt they had enough R&D cash to refine the car to be like an M car or higher end GT. I just hope they keep adding the latest "go fast" tech.

Great, another $70k M3 competitor!

Too many people whine and cry about "build quality" this and "NVH" that. If you want a high-end car, go buy a German one. I want a hot rod.

Even though the new car is likely to be leaps and bounds better than the S197 platform, I'm pretty sure I'll be keeping the '12 for a while. But I drive junky old shit, what do I know?
