I like the black grill on the rear windows, it's very Mad Max. But the rest of the car looks goofy. Then again I like the look of the last generation of Mustangs more than the new ones so whatever.
Bottom line, it aint no GTO. The 05 GTO is said to have the LS2 V8 from the new Vette. That's reeeeaaal nice

[rant]Im really sick of this whole retro car styling fad, and I think the novelty has worn off on everyone else is to. Didnt Ford learn its leasson with their Thunderbird flop? Cashing in on Retro is just overall design laziness, they will certainly sell enough the first year to new model suckers but then it will die on the vine like the Blunderbird.[/rant]
