Finally saw an '05 up close...

A Screaming Yellow V6, owned by the mom of a friend of mine. I'd seen two or three on the roads around here, but never up close. Plus, I even got a ride in it.

Pictures don't do it enough justice; my initial reaction has been confirmed: the new Mustang is drop dead _gorgeous_. And in yellow, it

*really* stands out in a parking lot. :)

A couple interesting thing I noticed when he parked it next to my V6stang. One, the profile and proportions of the '05 and the FOX hatchbacks (both are un-spoilered) are almost identical. It was almost eerie. Two, that my car really needs to be washed. ;)

All in all, I think Ford has done a great job with new Mustang, gently and exquisitely blending the best styling features of past Mustangs with modern technology into a very well-rounded package.

Agreed! The '05 definitely looks better in person. The yellow one is awesome, but then so are most of the other colors I've seen. I've seen several GTs in dealer lots since December, but just saw my first '05 GT on the road today! A redfire model. Very nice.
