It's funny. I saw this same exact rhetoric on the Mustang forums when the 2015 was revealed. People were crying foul that Ford destroyed their precious muscle car. I'm not exactly sure what people there, or even here expect to happen when a new generation comes out.

It's like they want all kinds of improvements but, don't change anything. Make it lighter, more nimble and over all, quicker car but, make it cost the same or less (don't change the exterior styling though); or make it suddenly reverse it's evolution and turn it into the 60's era model or it'll be heckled as ugly. Look, the 10-13 cars are not the 60's era cars. They resemble them but they are not them. Once again 10-13 =/= 60's. What in the world do people want? Do you want the car to stay stagnant for years on end or do you just want GM, Dodge, Ford, etc. to release an exact clone of the 60's cars with modern technology but somehow make it globally competitive?

With that being said, I welcome all the change and I'm disappointed that they didn't go with a revolutionary design (I know the spy shots and renderings were pretty much spot on) and instead they went with an evolutionary design. For the love of whatever god you chose to believe in, move away from all things retro. How many more years are we going to beat this dead horse?

Do you think your 10-13 looks better? Congratulations, you can keep it! Amazing. I personally think that the 2015 Mustang and the 2016 Camaro look great and they both went through some much needed changes - albeit, just not enough changes. It's a global market now, you can't just produce cars that are one trick ponies with stagnant exterior styling and expect them to continue to sell.
