Gee after owning Aston Martin for a while, they really seem to have "borrowed" the the look of the front air dam.
There's quite a few little similarities to our falcon amongst those cars. Maybe the rumours are true, Americans are beginning to like 'Euro' styling. |

yup the Taurus does nothing for me, the front bonnet looks like an over size dish to catch water in while parked.
And a fully optioned Linchon gets 355hp but the new mustang see a "modest increase" to 315hp. "Reality check isle 2 please"

The Lincoln does it with a Turbo V6 and the Mustang does it with a normally aspirated 4.6L V8. The Lincoln weighs more than the Mustang, is a newer chassis, and gets the newer engine. Americans are still resistant to the idea of a turbo V6 Mustang and no V8. Steve
