Ford Design did the right thing: keeping some classic identity markers from the first Mustang but not reiterating every detail cue, as several previous versions did. Not as linear as the original, this one’s notably less puffy -- “fat” might be a better descriptor -- than the current car. Carefully sculpted, it’s much better looking in reality than in photos. We think you’ll really like it when you see it on the street, whatever your prior favorite variant. Unmistakably Mustang, this new model is clean, and it’s almost infinitely superior mechanically -- a proud, worthy swan song for Ford design chief J Mays.
