Midknight Review -- new and revised: 2015 will see the next generation of Ford Mustangs - Problem : it will be compared to true innovation and the Aston Martin.

<<<<< In this post, we compare the Aston Martin with the "new" Mustang of 2015 and wonder, "Why?"

How long has it been since Ford returned the Mustang to its classic design? 2005. And the car was an instant success -- just in time to fend off the new Corvette (perhaps the best looking generation of Vets in history). But things are about to change for the Pony classic.

Ford has decided that it has done all that it can with its "classic" Mustang design and has decided to move closer to an Austin Martin, 21^st century design. The problem, as I see it, is this: the move takes the comparison of “Mustang” to “Mustang” and translates it into a comparison of “Mustang” to “all other classic sports car designs.” When Mustang is compared to Mustang, how dose it lose? But when compared a whole range of classic sports car design, well, I just do not think it can get close to "winning" in that comparison . . . . . . too many choices while, at the same time, to little innovation (uniqueness) or the appearance thereof.

In this later comparison, I think Mustang will fail to continue its heightened popularity. One cannot fail to see the comparison with the Aston Martin, for example. While beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I believe a visual comparison (i.e. the pictures in this post) show a modernized Mustang versus a thicker and meaner looking Martin. While there is a marked similarity in the grill construct, the lofted hood, the narrow headlight configuration, the lines and flow onto the backside of each car, and the generic side panel design, still, the Aston Marin just looks like it would destroy the Mustang on the road.

Time will tell how a watered down “Martin” design will fare when produced under the moniker of “Mustang.”

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
