Mustang. Its not the best (BMW 6 is way better), but I actually have a chance of owning one in the future. :)

that new red v8 mustang on the ford site is sooooo beautiful.... reading down the specs of exactly how they changed it as far as weight distribution and legnth, etc go- I can envision perfectly how the ride will be enhanced compared to what I'm used to. I can't wait go get one... base accessories stick to have and hold. The base model is next to fully loaded anyway.... just no leather, 6 cd changer or fancy chrome trim. It will be my garage queen (as opposed to current mustang being later replaced by a used awd jap for the beater) and I'm forcing myself to buy it in cash to make sure I understand what a luxury a car like that is...

Mustang. It's an automotive and American icon. It's extremely important to Ford. Unlike the C6 'Vette, the designers took a chance with the styling and most people think they succeeded. And it's the first time it will be on an all-new platform in 20+ years.

Personally I am really looking forward to other cars such as the '06 Solstice and the Legacy, but on the whole I think you have to give the Mustang the "most anticipated" title.

If i'm going to pick up a car that completely sucks for winter driving, i'm at least going all out..;)

I had a nice SN-95 for a few years. I modded it quite a bit, it was fast and fun to drive. I still miss that car sometimes. Mine was a '94 GT coupe, bright red with chrome wheels and grey interior.

My next car will be a 05 Mustang :) Probably down the road in 4 years since I just bought a car in December, but nevertheless, I will have a next-gen Mustang

For me it is the tC since Ill be buying one when they come out. There are other cars i would want, but for me it is what is resonable price wise and looks to be a nice new car.

I'm looking forward to the tC. While I don't intend to buy one, I think they're good looking and it's probably the only car on the list that I'll be able to afford in the next 5 years.

You didn't have the new Infiniti M45.

BUt hte Solitsce represents the new GM. If they pull it off, and that car ends up being a success as the Miata was...it will show the beginning of the end of GM's turnaround into making quality & substantial cars. It will also show off their new manufacturing prowess by having a concept to fulyl drivable car in such a short time.


In a similar manner, the M45 will determine the success of the Infiniti nameplate. If it proves to be the success that the G35 was (maybe even more popular) then Infiniti will continue forging aheadin the US marketplace and start off in the global arena as well. They'd be the BMW and Audi alternative, while Lexus would be the Mercedes alternative.

Mustang by far. Everyone is drooling over this sweet car. Well except the ricers who drool over pathetic Honda Civics.
