Exterior rates about a 6 out of 10 for me. Interior is so low, it doesnt even register at a 1. Not a fan. The interior is where we spend our time. Exterior is what others see as we pass by.
Comparing the references to generations prior as they came out...
As a person who has almost always gravitated to the unusual/unpopular sort of vehicle, (and harboring a deep love of the Fox Body) I thought the SN95 was a good looking car when it hit the streets. I felt that the leather interior belonged on my grand father's recliner, but the cloth seats looked pretty sporty in comparison. Oddly enough the one I managed to stumble into owning has the cloth interior.
The New Edge only felt like a natural progression AWAY from the bulbous/round shapes that Ford had embraced through the early 90s on everything. I liked the New Edge for being different. When the S197 came along, I liked it. Didn't care much for the back of it, but the rest of it seemed nice. When I got a chance to drive a 2017, it renewed an interest in these cars that had fallen into a dark corner of my mind. Getting some wheel time in a 2021 most certainly sparked a higher interest while doing some electronic install work in the car. This new version. I think it is the first Mustang in years that I don't care for. At all. I would have been happy to have ANY version of the Mustang in my driveway up till now. I'm not sure it will ever grow on me.
