As the Mustang begins it's 54th year in production it looks like the designers are trying again to make that magnificent design into a "jellybean" in 2018.

Over the years they have come up with some gawd-awful looking designs that almost killed off the model and it looks like they're at it again....

YUCK!


......And who came up with that "baby sh!t yellow/orange color and those hideous black wheels?

It looks to me like it should have a number painted on the side and be driven on some dirt tract in Alabama.

Those wild colors always worked for Chrysler.

I always said Chrysler isn't afraid to use color.

I'm sure it comes in white.

The color and wheels don't bother me, but the front end now looks like your typical garden variety jap car, not a Mustang. They should not allow children to participate in the design of company icons that have historical significance.

While it is not my favorite car, this is FAR from some of the disasters that Ford has put out with the Mustang nameplate. I think we all remember...

IMO,,,, It's safe to say that if FORD didn't sell them,,they wouldn't continue to build them....and there are many Mustangs still on the road.

Now, HERE is the most beautiful Mustang of ALL TIME (1969)


All I can say about the designers of the 2018 "Jellybean" POS is "Somebody get a rope!"

Consumer Reports seems to think highly of the 2018 'Stang

IMO, Ford should have kept the V6 engine as an option...it produced plenty of power

People get bitch when a few people here a complaint about the Prowler - a car with 11000 plus units sold in six years - and then you put down a car that sells almost ten times that many in a single year. If you don't like a Mustang or a particular model of any car... Do not buy it... But don't complain when someone doesn't like your choice of vehicles!... Just my opinion.... Btw.. Never Owned a mustang.

I had this exact car Mach 1 with a 429 Cobra Jet. Most expensive car I ever owned... Too bad I didn't know it when I bought it in 1973. Paid $500 for it, put about 200 miles on it and sold it a week later for a quick $500 profit. We do what ever it takes to buy food for the baby.
