I'm never one to poke the knife in and twist it (usually) but they really dropped the ball with the styling on this one. Its horrible. Look at the rear and how far back the porthole window is HORRIBLE!!

You ever see a NASCAR race where one of the cars spins out and slides backwards into the wall at 150MPH? That's what seems to have inspired the rear end styling of the new Mustang!
The powder blue is "cute".
...and as far as "bang for the buck" goes, the V6 Camaro will be more fun to drive and evoke more of a feeling of quality than the V8 mustang, and since everyone seems to think that sales of the mustang are so good because of the lower price, it seems likely that a lot of mustang GT sales could be robbed by the lower priced V6 Camaro due to the more recent technology in the design at same or lower price.
In other words, the base Mustang will still sell to whomever it sells to now. If that's where all the sales of the mustang are coming from, you can KEEP those sales... there's no money in stripper models. V6 Camaro should steal higher level V6 and low-mid level V8 mustang sales. 1SS should take away mid to mid-high level Mustang V8 sales, and 2SS should put a hurt on special Mustang models.
The only place the Mustang offers more bang for the buck is in the pleather-seat/manual-crank-window/AMFM-stereo-cassette models, which the Camaro doesn't seem to have a player in. Maybe a Cobalt would be a better entry anyway.
