Is it me or the 90s mustangs were underrated?

60s mustangs = iconic, clasic
70s mustangs = bigger, "on steroids"
80s mustangs = downsized, hollow shells of their former selves. Fox body, square lines, for fairmont-like.
Then along came the 90's mustang:

These cars felt like Ford was trying to turn the Mustang into a sports car. No compromises, and it was a new styling language too, it wasn't trying to be the 1964 mustang or anything like that.
Then the car aged and sort of faded away... until the retro mustang of the 2000s, which lasted until last year or so. It was awesome, just a bit constrained by the fact it was trying to be retro.
We haven't truly seen a new "no compromises" mustang until the current one. Actually, I made this topic because the current mustang reminded me of the 90s one - not even retro design compromises them, they almost try to be sports cars (I know they're not).
