QuickSilverShelby Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Hi all. I was at the Calgary Auto show about a week ago and had the chance to compare the new redesigned 2010 Mustang that was besides a 2008 GT500KR. I had a real good look at the new stylings of the front end (nice), fenders (very nice), interior (excellent), rear end (YUCK!!!). Now with all due respect to new 2010 owners, the car looks great, and performace/handling on the GT500 has been kicked up which is always great but the rear end is really lousy, Imho. I remeber when the new mustang came out in 1994, everyone complained about the taillights which had the three horizontal lights instead of the traditional three verticle lights. Everyone complained and Ford changed this. So, with so many out there saying the just can't stand the rear end, will Ford take a look at this and make a change? QSS Edit: I gotta learn how to spell "redesign" in my title. I'm a little bit challanged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COBRA32 Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 I really like the rear of the 2010 so here is a vote to not change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greggara Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 I highly doubt they will redesign the rear for 2011. Maybe an update for 2012 but who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

08SGT1977 Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Usually five or so years but then again 2010 was not a major redesign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08GT500KR Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Usually five or so years but then again 2010 was not a major redesign. Personally I think the rear end kills the car, what on earth were they thinking. YUCK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08SGT1977 Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Personally I think the rear end kills the car, what on earth were they thinking. YUCK I think they were trying to mimic the 1970 rear end. I must admit sometimes I think "Celica". I do like the 2010 Mustang line though. Lots of upgrades from the Bullitt.

ilmor Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 I like the 2010 from every angle - except - to me, the rear end is butt-ugly, and if I were in the market now it would definitely be a deal-breaker; and I would wait to see what the next update looks like.

kahmann Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 I love the 2010 from front to rear. Call me crazy? :tease: Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbr1000 Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Why would they redesign it? It's a big improvement over what's been available in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YZD263 Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 I doubt they will change the rear end so quickly, but there have been instances before where car companies changed design elements very early in the lifecycle of a vehicle due to those elements being poorly received by the public. One example that comes to my mind is the Subaru Tribeca SUV. They changed the controversial front end after about two years, so there may still be some hope for 2012. I agree with many here that besides the rear end, the other elements of the Mustang redesign are fine, with the interior in particular being a significant improvement.

greggara Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 I would like to see some photochops of different rear lower valances. I am thinking that might be the issue why some, not all, dont like the rear end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BergShelby Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 I'm not a fan of the rear either...but these things take some time to get use to. If I could afford one, it wouldn't stop me from buying one. The only reason they would change it is if sales just tanked....and that wouldn't benefit any of us. It is interesting. You go through 38 release photos of the GT500. Not one full picture of the rear....maybe Ford already knows that is the 2010 Mustang sore spot. Then again...who's looking at the back.

07shelbygt109 Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 I saw a 2010 Mustang in person last night and in my opinion the car looks great for the most part. The front clip looks wonderful, the interior is awesome except for the center air vents, and the rear quarters are nicely shaped. But the rear end? I think it looks like total crap. It reminds me of a satchel ass. My girlfriend even said it looked horrible and I better not think of trading untill Ford fixes it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fl Cobra Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 The rear end looks like Michael Strahan smiling with "gaps" between all his teeth!!! Rest of car was updated very nicely...rear end really does look like an ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike.s Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 maybe the aftermarket can come up with a nice rear bumper to fix the problem..i would think there would be several buyers for one..the rear is the only think i dont like about the refresh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
