I like the look of the one in the video; pretty clean, with the 
glowering, lowered-eyebrow look of the headlights carried over to the 
tail lamps. They did one thing better than Ford's S197: got the 
godawful front and rear bumper shelves of the Mustang to conform to 
the body shape; of course that probably triples the repair cost in a 
5MPH bump ...

Other than the better bumper integration, I don't see any differences 
beyond details between the Mustang and Camaro. There's just so much 
you can do within a basic configuration without going over the top and 
potentially alienating everyone, rather than just brand loyalists.
