RichardJensen Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 I don't think Versa's P. Registration dates don't line up, unless P created the Versa account a while back in order to have a backup in the event that he got banned.

rmc523 Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 (edited) Certain elements are turning me off, while others look kind of exciting. Same here....I personally don't like how the center section of the trunk lid appears to have a slight curvature to it, while the taillight lens right next to it does not have that same curvature. I suppose I can understand why they did it that way (and I will, of course, wait until I see the car in person to fully decide whether I like it or not) but I'm not sure how I feel about it. Let's just say, based on what I see here, I probably wouldn't have done it that way. Edited November 17, 2008 by rmc523 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last gen Taurus had the same tail lamp to trunk discordance and it always drove me nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last gen Taurus had the same tail lamp to trunk discordance and it always drove me nuts. It just looks a little odd to me, and I'd be interested to read/hear a Ford designer's reasoning behind doing that. Again though, I'll wait to see it in person before fully deciding how I feel about it. On another note, we now know that it's a reverse camera in the spoiler.

Versa-Tech Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 (edited) I'm not impressed that you post at a Ferarri chat site. BFD. I have no idea what your photoshop abilities are with MS Paint without you posting something. You're the one being critical and claim you could have done better. PROVE it. I don't post at ferrarichat. Been there, done that, have the shirt. General Motors made millions off of my pride, and I was only fourteen at the time. I had my split-cycle engine design stolen out of a display at an engineering competition when I was a junior in high school. Then there was... etc. etc. etc. If you think I could [still] be so stupid to share my ideas in, of all places, a forum frequented by employees of a major automobile manufacturer, then evidently I have portrayed myself as a dunce. In any case, I penned my final design on the last day of my grandfather's life. I destroyed the rest of my portfolio shortly after when I lost the only woman I ever loved. I have no intentions of ever designing anything to do with transportation ever again. There are simply too many fields in need of innovation to force myself to indulge in an art-form which I associate with so much emotional pain.

BigBadBflo Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 (edited) A little bit back on topic: I was worried about the tail lights upon seeing them undereath the camo...but they are looking good and are nicely detailed. I think the trunk on the Mustang (and the Taurus) work well. Pickup trucks used to do this alot (and the new F-150). I think it gives it a tougher look without over complicating the back by having weird shaped lenses to make the transition. The shape gives off a Porshe 928 vibe. one of my fav (non-ford) cars as a kid. Edited November 17, 2008 by BigBadBflo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickF1011 Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I was speaking stylistically. I could have designed a better exterior with microsoft paint. The interior was equally gross. Helen Keller could have done better. Your opinions. I completely disagree with them, but you are entitled. I find the 96-98's to be some of the better looking of all Mustangs, ESPECIALLY the interior. Yes, the materials leave much to be desired and the ergonomics such as the shift handle location and narrowness of the foot wells is a bit off, but stylistically, I love the "dual pod" look to them. They also hold up extremely well compared to any other Mustang interior I've encountered (too early to tell on the S197's yet). There is very little superficial trim thrown into the SN95's interior that is prone to breaking or peeling or fading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the six speeds are wishful thinking this year, but who knows. After the recent Raptor bombshell, I wouldn't be surprised to see Ford have a surprise up their sleeve. Looks like skunkworks are the order again. Hey, didn't I read somewhere that SVT got it's start as a skunkworks project in an abandoned airplane hangar?
