I didn't like the 05's and 06's until I saw pictures of the new Shelby. The front end looks so much better than the front end of the new GTs, plus they've got a supercharged 5.4L. So I don't know who wouldn't like them.

And Ford redid the Mustangs with the retro look to boost sales. Retro is selling in America right now, and especially when there's cars like the GTO and 05 Z06 out there, Ford knew that they definitely couldn't win buyers on speed, they had to go for style. Just my 2 cents.

PS-If any of that above doesn't make sense it's because I'm under the influence of strong cold medicine.
