I have to agree. I've never been a Ford fan primarily because the styling of their cars always seems half-done. They get some good ideas but always seem to hold back too much and get too conservative and boring. The new Stang is beautiful from front to back. I really think it was a great idea to draw upon their heritage for the new design.

The new Vette, on the other hand, looks too much like the previous design with just a little streamlining and minor design changes. To my eye it looks like the new Vette was designed by old, conservative Ford designers.

I'll admit I wish the C6 had pop-up headlights, but regardless of that, it still looks GREAT! The sharper fenders and other edges, the slightly more retro back window and smaller hood...I like it a lot. I can't wait to see it in person.

The new Mustang is gorgeous too. If it was a Pontiac I'd buy one. :lol:

Id like the wheels bigger on the Stang. Im not talking twenties but less rubber then it has now. That would really sharpen it up, there is something about the back end I cant put my finger on that bugs me, the front is gorgeous but there is something about the back

The Stangs look like a rejected Rally car. I know they are shooting for the retro GT500 look, but it is just nasty. I can't stand the window in the back on the side. Some of the early photos had the body going down the side with a gas cap on that side, or a mock one, and I thought that looked sweet!! Of course, Ford had to mess with it and now it looks totally retarted! They should have left it looking like the concept.

The new vette, no huge difference from the latest models. The removal of those always lame "pop-up" headlights was a huge improvement and the rounding of the HUGE ass on the previous car was also superb! BIG improvement and I LIKE it!!!
