looks great!! except for the rear.. they have destroyed the back part of the car. was much better some years ago. 2005 ish was nice. this new look + the old rear....wow. i would have bough the car.

I agree - I think the re-designed front is much more successful than the rear - there's a big part of me that wishes they'd been bolder. It still all works very well in the flesh though!

Thanks Stephen - and I agree, it's really good to see Ford allowing designers who aren't necessarily 'superstar names' to shine on camera, made all the better by Rob's great character and his obvious love for the Mustang, it's design and heritage.

@MovementDesign i actually like the new rear. in fact i liked it so much i bought a 2010 mustang in silver with a glassroof and my girlfriend drives around with the 2005 cabriolet in iceblue i had. i like em both. but the muscular, broad and more aggressive look just did it for me. as the 2005 cabriolet has a more "summer-y" feeling. so - everyone gets happy :)

its all that plastic... its the gingebready gray stuff all along the back bumper. if they just kept the same body colored low bumper with the exhaust ports from the 05 theyd have a hit.... its that back bumber on the 2010 thats the only reason im not gonna buy it. maybe if they come out with a "fix" in the after market

Great video/interview I love the way you guys help to bring out the designers themselves that rarely get mentioned unless they have a massive reputation such as Bangle.
