Kiss These Tail Lights Goodbye!!

Contemporary Mustang fans and those of us who prefer the classic designs of ’64 1/2—’70 and ’05—’09 rejoice! According to a tiny news mention in Mustang Monthly, we can kiss the friggin’ ugly tail lights of the ’10—’12 5.0 goodbye. Changes should come as early as the 2013 model.

Puttin’ our pony in park for a second, Ford has done wonders with the newest iteration of the Mustang, from the almighty 5.0, to the fuel-sipping V6, to the Boss 302. The latest Stang is a rolling testament to performance, fuel economy and engineering. However, the styling reverted back to the New Edge Celica look leftover from the ’90s, and really sort of bastardized the awesome retro look introduced in ’05.

Think we’re speaking out of turn? Camaro sales have outshone Mustang sales the past two years, and every auto journalist agrees the Dodge Challenger is the coolest-looking pony car of all. Here’s hoping Ford goes back to the drawing board to bring us the stylistic lines we’ve become so accustomed to seeing. We’d suggest using the ’69 or ’70 models as their newest inspiration.

Old School.

New School.

Back to School.
