Have to agree. I'm an old fart, too (for sure), but the current Mustang looks dated - especially when you look at the complete Ford line-up at fordvehicles.com. I wouldn't mind seeing 400HP in a 21st century design. The new Fusion is gorgeous; I think Ford could do wonders with the Mustang, while staying true to the heritage. I've had enough retro for this lifetime, thanks. dwight |
