You realize how long the Mustang has been in development?

Wheels are still ugly regardless of what make they are on. Just not feeling those "butterfly" wheels

Overall, I like it better than the last generation Mustang. I notice it doesn't have a bunch of black vents, etc to give it a "boy racer" look.

I bet it is very successful.

And all it took to upstage them was a simple press release and single picture of one black vent

Yeah, because the C7Z is meant to compete with the new 2015 mustang?

Did you really backhandedly accuse Chevrolet of being creative? Wow, and the C7 looks nothing like the F12 Berlinetta. Wait, wait, the rear is definitely not taken from any Euro car. That is all in-house. Don't get me wrong the C7 is a beautiful car and a quantum leap forward but it is hardly breaking the mold in the looks department. It is doing nothing that hasn't already been done and is currently being done, with the exception again of the rear which I pretty much think we all agree is just bad. Pray the aftermarket gets it right soon. I have seen some great proto-types.

Lol venture away from the c7 forums and there are a bunch of haters of the c7 and people who still prefer the dated round taillight look

That style quarter window is not exclusive to the C7.

Ya, I see it. Also looks like Ford copied the 2-door 4-wheel concept. Damn them to hell.

Not to mention the Mustang has had that style window since the dawn of time.

It's already growing on me. I love the current bodystyle. In fact, I bought a 2014 V6 as my DD. There are some good things about the C7, but the switch hasn't quite flipped for me on it yet. Maybe the new Z will do it, I just hope they don't price it out of my range
