Anthony Posted October 15, 2013 Author Share Posted October 15, 2013 Pretty tough to talk about 'record numbers of buyers' when you're talking about any Mustang other than the '65........... Noted, but try selling the '65 Mustang with no body panels having been changed up through the 1980 model year. That's basically what the Fox accomplished, successfully.

RichardJensen Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 From the original source material: refined from CAD images of the actual car, with our various spy photos used as a starting point These renderings were not based on Ford CAD files. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanh Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Outside of the Front end on the car, I doubt if its 100% correct....I think its lacking alot of little details... my fingers, legs, arms AND eyes are crossed.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Posted October 15, 2013 Author Share Posted October 15, 2013 my fingers, legs, arms AND eyes are crossed.... Not sure how much it's worth, but TTAC's "contacts" say it's pretty much the deal (aside from some details the render would not make out). Who their contacts are and if they have anything to do with Ford, the Mustang or Wonder Bread is not mentioned. However, the previous sentence in the quote below makes it "seem" they are referring to a Ford contact. http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/2013/10/if-this-is-the-2015-ford-mustang-then-sign-me-up/ Since then, a couple things have happened. TTAC and Ford are now back on speaking terms, and some new renders of the 2015 Mustang have been released. According to our source, they are pretty much accurate, though there are more curves and soft surfaces than the renders can accurately depict. I'll believe I've seen the real deal when Ford releases an image. And even then I'll wait to see it in person before I can accurately judge how it looks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvrsvt Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 According to our source, they are pretty much accurate, though there are more curves and soft surfaces than the renders can accurately depict. No duh! I remember someone posted a render of the Fusion right before it was shown off and it was about 80-90% correct vs the actual car...I'm sure that that the general shape of the car is correct, but almost all of the surface detailing is missing on it, like little details that make it a mustang. I like the General Shape, but I'm sure that there is ALOT of surface detailing missing on the car that will make it look much better... Much like the renders of the C7 vette vs the real deal (outside of the horrible tail lights on it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony Posted October 15, 2013 Author Share Posted October 15, 2013 gut tells me the rear haunches will be more "beefy".... I definitely think it has a bit more oomph then the rendering shows. The rendering is definitely more "Bruce Jenner" then "Rambo". I think (just like in '94) we'll see something in the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97svtgoin05gt Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 This is Fords single biggest release. They aren't coughing up anything till its time. My opinion. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANTAUS Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I would hope its very different from what that rendering is. There's many lines on it that do not flow and make no sense. You would think the artist would have put more effort into it. It should be more than just a head and foglight job. I was not impressed with the interior pic of the radio/A/C pic we saw some days ago that was surrounded by GM circa 1990s plastic either, so I'm hoping the end product will be better executed, and hopefully more exciting than what we have seen.

V8-X Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I'm sure there is plenty more to the redesign than this. But as for this rendering, I somewhat like the style from about mid-hood to tail. Probably because it looks so similar to the current model. Now will say I dislike the look from mid-hood to front bumper. That front clip and hood detail doesn't look so nice.

I remember someone posted a render of the Fusion right before it was shown off and it was about 80-90% correct vs the actual car.. That was this: http://www.autoblog.com/2007/06/21/rendered-speculation-2009-ford-fusion-and-lincoln-mkz/ And Ford fought tooth and nail to get those pics pulled from the internet because they were official Ford renderings. These renderings? They're not based on Ford CAD files. I expect that the overall shape is more or less accurate, but the guy who did these renderings doesn't have the definitions for the surfaces and curves of the finished product. He may be close on the hard points and vaguely correct with some of the character lines, but if he doesn't know the definitions of the surfaces, he doesn't really know what the vehicle will look like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hydro Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 From digesting all the spy shots this looks real close. I don't think Ford wanted to stray too far off. I'm saving this thread to compare when the real 2015 debuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was speaking of a 2013 Fusion render based off one of the spy shots...it was nearly identical to production car...but didn't look quite as good IMO.

That's basically what the Fox accomplished, successfully. History is forgetful at times. The Fox body Mustang, while quite successful initially, was on life support the last few years it was around (and its corporate cousin Capri was cancelled entirely). Let's not forget Ford nearly replaced it with the Probe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickF1011 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 The hockey sticks are gone?? Que face palm. Given there are no undisguised shots of the rear quarters, there's no way to know. I suspect there will be some variant of them though. I wouldn't even mind a return of actual scoops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvrsvt Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I visited the thread that was linked in the TTAC and the guy who did these renders also got the 2005 Mustang render about 90-95% correct. I think the General Shape is there, but its missing alot of the curvatures that will make it better looking car. Someone did this based off the spy shots from a couple weeks ago and it captures the curves the car much better IMO I think the final product will look more like this then the render that is lacking the curves that this has. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvrsvt Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 (edited) Oh and another to prove my point: The render is lacking alot of details vs what the actual production car is going to look like...the head lights are a big one!
