Default Official Post 1979 Mustang Appearance Thread!

So ever since the new Mustang has come out there has been a raging debate about the design of the back end. Some people love it, others hate it - it seems to be very polarizing. With that in mind I have pictures of the V6, GT, and Cobra (SVT or Shelby) models of every generation since 1979. I tried to find only pictures of stock cars, but that proved difficult for the fox bodies. With that in mind, rank the front end and back end designs in order of preference and then vote for the overall best in the poll. This is based strictly on looks and not the drive train. Here are your choices:

2010 Mustang:









S197 05-09 Mustang








New Edge Mustang (99-04)








SN95 Mustang (94-98)

HP numbers are good and all, but they are like asking someone how much they can bench. What difference does it make if I can still kick your ass?

SN95 but only the Cobra or Saleen. I don't like the look of the GT front bumper.

I'm going to create a similar thread for the Camaro shortly, but as with the Mustang I'll probably omit the first generation. I think that if I included the 1st gen Mustang or Camaro it would be the overwhelming favorite. I'm fairly confident nobody would choose the Gen 2 Mustang though
