I've been in the studios at Ford, too, Joe, while in Advanced Engineering. And I'm sure you've had that sick feeling when viewing a clay of the new whatever. This was the case when I first saw the '71 Mustang. I thought it what a truck! But the sickest I ever was when I first saw the Mustang II.
Fortunately, car people have assumed control of styling at Ford. The only area I have reservations about is the rear-end treatment of the '05 Mustang. I don't know why they insist on using luxury-car taillights on a sporty car. Wish they'd do something like using reworked Mangusta/Panatera taillights . . . anything but those full-width monstrosities. Otherwise, the car has killer looks. I'll get one in spite of the taillights if the rest of the design is carried through to production, though.
