The recessed taillight panels on these cars are perfect, and they had to go and destroy it with that hideous insert.

Frankly, I find the whole car offensive to the senses. I applaud their decision not to make it stand out, but damn near everything they did to the car are things that just didn't need to be done.

What I like: Wheels, paint, styling cues, engine, 9 inch rear with 3.55 gears (although it could be better)

What I don't like: Wheel size, autotragic transmission, air bag suspension, tacky insert on trunk lid, and the red R badge on the grille and rear key hole. In fact, I don't like the front much at all

I also don't get how they keep referring to this car's style as "European". It doesn't look vaguely like any European car that I know of....it just looks like a black "modern tech" hot rod Mustang with a lot of shit stuck on it. In fact, I'd say the style is more Japanese.

#3, >_< Good night, I just noticed the "R" in the grille.

Between that and the out-of-place BMW fender trim, I rank it a solid "4" on the rice scale. It's not rice, but it's really pushing it.

And you know what would have been cooler than a Hiltech EFI computer that resmbled vintage Weber downdraft carbs? Actual vintage Weber downdraft carbs.

And besides the interior and some other bits of euro aesthetic, I don't understand their constant European references to this car

#6, It's not like these are hard to get. Weber DCOE carbs (45s would suffice I think) are still widely used.

If they seriously wanted a "European style", Mustang, they should go for more of a vintage European look. Melding classic and modern styles just rarely ever works.

*Take a '67 Mustang fastback.
*Trim it like the Bullitt car....grille insert, horsey, and badge removal.
*Put some vintage-style racing alloys on it. Think Shelby.
*Multiple Weber carbs.
*A Nardi wood steering wheel.
*A leather shift boot with a Momo knob.
*Trim removal on the interior with tastefully stiched, soft black leather.

That's good enough right there. :)

#7, I just think trying to incorporate modern technology in these cars takes away all the fun. It's cool that they've got a 351W based powerplant under the hood and a Mustang 2 rack and pinion. But the R badges and weird BMW styling elements don't do anything for me. Same with the induction system.

#8, Mmmm sounds good to me

#8, Add to that shaved bumpers and some tasteful round Hella foglights, tires of "normal width" and double exhausts with exits real close to each other in the middle of the rear (Jag E-Type style).

And some of those little placques you see in the grilles of German cars....what are those, anyway?

#11, German cars?
I know the Brits were in habit of putting commemorative plaques on/around the grille/front bumper.

#12, Ah, maybe it's the Brits then. It just seems like I usually see then in vintage Mercedes grilles.

#13, The custom was adapted by the French, so maybe by the Germans too.

European style Mustang? Isn't that what the SVO was supposed to be?
