Well, now that I know what the front of the new Mustang looks like I am glad that I decided on buying my STi. I too wish they would have kept the original front of the concept car. It looked like an even more bad-*** version of the '68 Shelby GT 500 (possibly the coolest car ever made). I am 24 and I really appreciate the fact that Ford was trying to revitalize the mustang heritage. I have always appreciated Mustangs, me dad has had many from the 60's and they were all awesome cars.
Side note on the BMWs. I just got rid of my 97 528i, I hated it, it was always in the shop. I like the new bold design they are going with, but apparently, I can't remember where I read it, the 2003 (old design) was outselling the new design 5 series at the same this year in each month since the new one's release.
