wow, thanks for posting the photos, and naming them. There is some really nice car there.

Not too keen on the new Mustang, I guess we will all have varied opinions on this, but it looking Jag like, its going to blend in, like they did in the 90's. It needs to look special. Mind you, I guess they have to take the design to where the sales are.

No worries!

Yes the new '15 Mustang has proven controversial, but I like it. In my opinion it still looks unmistakably like a Mustang with a lot of the same styling cues as the outgoing car, but just a bit curvier and slinkier. I suppose it looks a bit less butch than the '10-'14 model.

I always feel sorry for the designers that have to come up with a new design for such an iconic car as the Mustang. It's difficult for them to change the design without upsetting fans of the previous one. It has to look new and different while still looking like a Mustang, which is a difficult balance to strike.

That Mazda was a one-off, I think. I'm pretty sure I used to have a Matchbox version of it though!

Here's another shot of the Mazda:

That Mazda does look nice, like something out of Battlestar Galatica. Looks so different than anything else. I couldn't afford one of them, but I can dream.
