I'm sure they did exactly that. What you're going to find when you poll a representative cross-section of current consumers is not necessarily the response you get when you sample the opinions of a long-time dedicated fanbase. The question is not "did they get feedback from likely customers"...

Absolutely.

For the hell of it I decided to paste up a quick illustration/comparison of the 650 and Camaro rear ends: The obvious conclusion, IMO, is: Yep, they're similar; and The Mustang is a lot better looking car. :crackup:

The decklid panel is an odd little piece of "tradition" that has its pros and cons. I mean, there were black panels on, what, three years of the first gen? And so thirty-odd years later it got brought back as an aftermarket piece for the s197s and Ford finally added it on in production for two...

I think the tails on my '13 may have been the best-looking ever, yeah. I like the tail lights on my '20 better than the '16 I had just before it. I waited for a few years into the 550 model to get a better car, and I haven't been disappointed.

Isn't that always who they sell the most cars to? Makes sense.

Well, if there are volume controls on the steering wheel, who needs the other volume knob? Oh, yeah - the passenger. :wink:

December, 2013: "IF WE WANTED A CAR THAT LOOKS LIKE A CAMARO WE WOULD BUY A CAMARO." There's plenty like that out there. Always has been.

OMG, you're saying it's a Ford?

They're a fine size, given the elimination of the rear scratch magnet. They just aren't imitative of the 550.

Fair point - the whole thing looks good in motion, which is what matters. I'm not buying a 60 thousand dollar wall.poster. :D

Oh, gee, I thought only Camaros had hips. :crackup:

Exactly.

I think the rear of the car and the taillights in particular look fantastic from this angle: (Original image found here: Link)

To some degree it's a form-follows-function thing. Newer technologies bring new design freedoms. Why are we imitating the proportions of exterior lights from forty years ago (to the extent that we are)? Because folks "know" how a car is supposed to look? To state the obvious, Mustangs have...

I don't want a black panel,but would sure look at some Raxiom lights.

These are entirely different parts than those on the Mach-E. They're not even particularly close. Frankly, a design somewhere between this one and the Mach-E might have been better. These are a little bit toy-like.

They're the same, but the premium is enclosed behind a single curved or bent glass panel.

I'm glad you drew that boundary first. My reply was formed and I was reaching for my mouse. :crackup:

I'd think about the Dark Horse as a DD now, given that I no longer do rush hour and put only around 6K a year on my current rude.
