I was reading the responces at Auto Blog... They hate it over there. The concensus seems to be that Ford made the car "blander".

OK, I am at work and I finally have a chance to really see the pic's (crappy CRT at home). It appears that Ford softened the creases on the rear bumper (good thing). I dont think the fishmouth lower grill works. It looks upside down to me. The front bumper screams 2004 SVT, while the rest of the front looks uncomplemented. Now the car needs a chin spoiler, allong with a tint and drop. I still like the Dark chrome, and the side of the car still looks 100% better w/o the vents, but the front is wrong.

IMO I will take the 08 over the 09. I like the full oragami design better. Plus I wont look out of place playing the Cash Money Millionairs Greatest Hits from my Zune w/ all of the bling-bling chrome.
