I always liked the older round taillights better. Underpowered buy many of today's cars I still love these cars. By the late 70's American V8s were choked off with smog control as engineering hadn't caught up with the regulations and by comparison the tii was fast. I tried to get my sister to buy a 2002 but her boyfriend talked her into a ’78 Ford Mustang II. LOL what a dog the Ford was.
Also, remember that the power was measured differently, so when the smog controls came with the new government-mandated standards to bhp net SAE, it was a double whammy that decade.
Being a child of the 1970s, the rectangular rear lights look better to me, just because that smacked of modernity rather than the purity of design. Whatever the case, these were a good half-way house between the original Neue Klasses and the first 3-series.
The Mustang II was a joke as far as the powerplants were concerned. Having no V8s for the first two model years of the II was a stupid mistake. I always did hear that the 2·3 V6 was not much better than the smaller 2·0 Kent four in the European Taunus.
