DetroitWonk Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Here you go kids -- it looks like a Mustang with a mattress on its head. http://jalopnik.com/cars/spy-photos/2010-f...tted-286782.php Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MERKURXR4Ti Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Didn't Mulally already state that it'll have 350hp, I figured reworked 4.6. Love to see how it looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickF1011 Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 First? There were pictures of Mustang mules months ago that had the new front end grafted on it with camo already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchdevil Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 First? There were pictures of Mustang mules months ago that had the new front end grafted on it with camo already. This camo doesn't even look like it has underneath a grafted nose of the restyle like the true first pictures showed. I think if we look at that Giugiaro show car we are probably seeing much of the restyling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomServo92 Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 I like the front end very much but I didn't care for the rear or bodyside styling at all... Same here except I thought the bodyside would be fine with a few tweeks but I hated the rear. I liked the "hips" on the bodyside but I thought they needed to be toned down a bit.

SVT_MAN Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 I'd prefer an update that makes the nose more like a 69, and the same thing for the taillights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue II Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 I'd prefer an update that makes the nose more like a 69, and the same thing for the taillights. Me too, retro 69 should be the next design phase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catalepsy Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 I hope Ford is finally coming out with fresh and designs using design ques of all Mustangs and not copy a specific year. Me too, retro 69 should be the next design phase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort of like the 94-04's? Yes, they look outdated now, but they were certainly fresh when they came out and they used a lot more historical Mustang cues than most give them credit for.

Catalepsy Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 We would not be here today talking about the Mustang if it wasn't for the 94 redesign and how well it sold. Sort of like the 94-04's?

Ford Jellymoulds Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 I like the current badass front end of the Mustang its one of the best things its has got going for it, l just hope Ford are not going to cock up sales by adding a boring corporate dull bland boring Mondeo Focus type jellymoulded front end to it.

Watchdevil Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 We would not be here today talking about the Mustang if it wasn't for the 94 redesign and how well it sold. The 1994 Mustang is what brought me back to Ford. They made exactly what I wanted to see at the time and that was a modern Mustang that looked like a Mustang with some classic styling cues. I always call the 94-98 the "Taurus-Stang" because you can clearly see the family resemblence. That generation Mustang is still very popular with young people buying their first cars. I see a lot of them in very good shape and I am suprised how good it still looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchdevil Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 (edited) I like how this Road & Track cover did the redesign. It makes the front end have less apparent grille height while giving the grille and lamps are sneeker hooded look... The Guigiaro Mustang is likely where front end styling will go to but I wonder how they are gonna do the hood without adding a "toilet seat" hood opening that will resist damage to the hood and pass bumper standards. Existing spy photos reveal this front end style through the camo. I don't see the need for much change to the bodysides of the current Mustang. All it needs is a new set of taillamps and a much improved interior. There is a rectractable top that is being developed but I am not crazy about the greenhouse profile...

It looks like a warmed over GT with GT500-style headlight/foglamps. The funniest part that makes it ridiculously obvious that it's a bad chop: THE PONY IS FACING THE WRONG FREAKIN WAY!!!!

silvrsvt Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 All it needs is a new set of taillamps and a much improved interior. The car needs and is going to get more changes then that...all the sheetmetal under the green house will change. I like the way the interior looks now, but it could use nicer quality plastics in it, but um I don't see that happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't mind seeing some deeper sculpted C scoops, sort of the way the 67 was deeper than 66. I am afraid of hop-up rear quarters which might make it look old. I certainly don't like the way it looks on the Guigiaro concept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

96 Pony Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 (edited) There is a rectractable top that is being developed but I am not crazy about the greenhouse profile... I actually likey this better than the current model. It kind of gives me the same *oooohhhhh* factor that the '94-'98's did. I was very disappointed when the SN197 originally came out and the nose was not as aggresive as the concept. I honestly don't think it is holding up as well as the SN95's. But that is just me. This is what Ford needs to take attention away from the upcoming Crapmaro/Challenger. And wouldn't it be nice, if the company that was one of the first to develope and somewhat successfully market the retractable actually returned it to one of their car lines? THAT would be a Bold Move. Edited August 9, 2007 by 96 Pony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's apparent that they reversed the image, and of all places the put it on the cover! I guess they pay their editors to sleep!

I was disappointed as well that the 2005 Mustang front end looked too tall and upright, especially compared to the showcar. You can also look at all the renderings that preceded the prduction car and see that they had more of a snarky low profile nose. If they restyle t right, the headlamps should look like they are hooded or partially hidden, the grille should be more trapazoidal, wih lower height and the gigantic bumper shelf should be reduced. I also noticed with the Mustang showcar that there is a certain arc to the roof that didn't translate into the production car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
