Anyone thinking about upgrading? I love to look, but the back(not the tails) I need to get used to.

I may when the aftermarket fixes the Evo-inspired front end. It didn't work on the Charger and it doesn't work on the Mustang either IMO. Everything else about it is great.

If they do a Mach I'm sure the wife will want one. I'm really starting to dig the new Mustang. I think lowering it and the nice set of wheels will really make it look badass. With those bulging fenders and fastback design, some rear deep lip wheels are going to look outstanding!

Considering the GT500 was $62k+, I seriously doubt it would be that cheap.

Gt 350 is the 500s baby brother... they still plan a big hp 500 car.. so unless they want to price thr 500 in the 70s, the 350 should be 50 somethin.

Considering the GT500 is now no longer going to be produced, it will be 60k+

++1 Going to bust a move about this time next year and right now a C7 is what I would get. Hope Ford can bring something to the table that can whoop it.

I like a little retro and the new one doesn't look like it's quite sure what it is...

If the catfish mouth, Nissan window and Datsun taillights were changed it would be better.
I just don't like that the Mustang now looks like every other Ford in the front. At least it used to be uniquely Mustang all around. Now it looks just like the Fusion, Focus, Taurus etc... they all have the same openings, light designs and placement.

Good luck with that with the C7Z supposedly debuting next year.
