Finally saw an '05 up close...

A Screaming Yellow V6, owned by the mom of a friend of mine. I'd seen
two or three on the roads around here, but never up close. Plus, I even
got a ride in it.

Pictures don't do it enough justice; my initial reaction has been
confirmed: the new Mustang is drop dead _gorgeous_. And in yellow, it
*really* stands out in a parking lot.

A couple interesting thing I noticed when he parked it next to my
V6stang. One, the profile and proportions of the '05 and the FOX
hatchbacks (both are un-spoilered) are almost identical. It was almost
eerie. Two, that my car really needs to be washed.

All in all, I think Ford has done a great job with new Mustang, gently
and exquisitely blending the best styling features of past Mustangs with
modern technology into a very well-rounded package.

You obviously have good taste!

I wholeheartedly agree with this post. I know people like that.

Agreed! The '05 definitely looks better in person. The yellow one is
awesome, but then so are most of the other colors I've seen. I've seen
several GTs in dealer lots since December, but just saw my first '05 GT on
the road today! A redfire model. Very nice.
