The 2005 Mustang is the first one I've liked since the '69s. The big '71-73 cars were Bunky(formerly GM) Knudsen's creation, and the Mustang II was a good idea for it's time, but I never got into it--and the perpetual Fox chassis Mustang didn't work for me, either.
Funny how the retro folks used the '67-'68 Design ques, as well as the Shelby--CS inspired wide taillights and pseudo spoiler. It's like we've all been vindicated for having an old '68!!
Although that rendering is interesting, it looks like it's from the "Fast and Furious" School of Design. (ugh!).
We'll see if Ford finds a place for another CS, and maybe HCS. I'd be happy to consult on such a plan with Ford. It has potential. I think Dearborn still thinks that California wouldn't deserve it's own Mustang.....so, we'll see.
The later 2006 Shelby Mustangs will be interesting, too. I guess that would blow off those Saleen cars, too!! I'll take the Shelby anyday.
My two bits.
