Definatly full-blown retro. There is no way getting around it. It is a direct copy of one generation and that is it. Just because it is made out of new materials, does not mean it is a new design.

You going for "longest thread of the year", "most reads", or both?

I see it as a very modern car with hints from the past, and so I voted a mix of the old and new. It's only the front clip that makes it look so retro and even that has a different and more modern look to it then the original. The other parts are just lesser cues.

Definately a mix of old and new.
Styling is subjective, and IMHO the new Stang is definately NOT retro, but it does have styling cues of the past. Compare it to the PT Cruzer or Mini or Thunderbird that is a modernized carbon copy of past designs and Mustang looks far more modern than it does like anything from the late 60s.
If it looked like a torpedo, or had a notch back, then I'm sure more people would view it as something other than retro. But (again, just my own view on this) I don't see it as retro.

I wish I had the quote but the designer said he looked at the 67' and only that generation. Where are the styling cues from other generations? All this has already been discussed but oh well.
