I did. It's utterly OBNOXIOUS. I think the car itself is decent, but the sheer amount of custom jobs was just irritating and made the whole thing seem played out about 2 years ago. The worst part is, it'll happen all over again. Autoblog, PLEASE, PLEASE just make ONE custom Mustang Post, and keep updating that. Or a new website, like mustang.autoblog.com.... I like hearing about ones that are actually interesting, but if it's just another mustang with a bit more power, some musclecar graphics, and some different wheels I would really rather be reading about someone autocrossing a Kia Spectra. No, I am not kidding.

Didn't Shelby & West Coast Customs do a limited run of 'pimped' Stangs?

@Vintage: Autoblog is a website, and unlike a magazine, more posts for the Mustang do not take away pages available for other cars. If you don't like all the Mustang posts -- or, for that matter, all the Corvette posts, GT-R posts, etc -- then just skip them and don't read them. It's really that simple.

holy cow... when will these mustang articles stop on autoblog?!

a mustang article about mustang articles...

@Vintage I'm sure your opinions and what you want to see are really important to you, and maybe even one other person, but not to the rest of us Autoblog fans. Autoblog is one of my favorite blogs because it brings me everything that is going on in the automobile industry, and I can pick and choose what I want to read and comment on, and skip the rest, like Kia Spectra stories.
Mustang stories exist because many companies have made significant financial investments in this very popular platform, and they obviously sell their products and are profitable. What have you done that gives you the right to criticize anything?
Yeah, I thought so!

''What have you done that gives you the right to criticize anything?''

For one thing, not buying it.

The issue of the matter is, Yes, Mustangs are Autos. But when the articles keep piling about some 9,000th version of the Mustang that just has some Aero kit and maybe some go-fast bits, I mean seriously, what else can't be done to the car without resorting to an infamous SNL sketch about a certain Mercury....

As much as people like Mustangs, Autoblog needs to adhere to a core ideal: To provide interesting car related stories to us readers that we might like, whether it be some luxury brand pumping out the next Supercar to the parts bin test mules out somewhere in the boonies. And frankly speaking, alot of us hate the "endless" stories on some tuners we don't know/don't care about that has decided that they need to get on the action of the Ford Mustang. I don't think even the Muscle Cars back in the heyday had enough variants to fill a Wal-Mart parking lot!!

It's great that the biggies like Shelby and Saleen had their fangs in the Mustang, but come on....8 Shelbies? 16 Saleens and likewise Roushes? How many models of the same car do we need?

Simple lineup: Base model, some kitted performance car, and maybe a racing variant. THAT'S IT!! How hard is it to keep to that formula?

Also, simply "not clicking a story" isn't enough: we have to scroll past them, which in a sense is a bother because it is in a sense forcing us disgusted to read the synopsis before deciding on scrolling past.

tl;dr Autoblog stops it with the Mustang Variant Articles and goes back to reporting Automotive news. Or some clip they saw on Youtube. Whatever.

John: Considering my sentiment is shared by many others, and my comment was highly ranked, it's safe to say I'm not alone in being annoyed. If you aren't annoyed with the 11,000 variations, cool beans for you. I am, and that is my opinion. If you don't like my opinion, piss off. People are allowed to have different opinions.

@catgirlshyla

I guess they should dispense with all the tuner Bimmers, Benzs, and Lambos too right? Because it is the same thing.

@Vintage
Anyone rating you up was obviously mistaken, you haven't had a comment that even bordered on rational yet

At least those are in moderation....or Autoblog is too lazy to post the Gazillion different variants.

I agree, I'm an import guy and me and just about every other import guy with good tastes will agree that the previous looked much better.

Retro = lame

Whatever it is the last one did to appeal to import guys is exactly what it did wrong.

Trying to out bland a Civic is a losing battle.

The previous generation was uglier with the exception of the side mirrors. The only thing I miss about that car was the availability of an IRS.
