silvrsvt Posted December 3, 2013 Author Share Posted December 3, 2013 hmmm....not so sure, shots I have seen show two large intake openings in the grill....front three quarters shows those rear haunches Ford has been hiding....I will STILL bitch about overhangs though...sheesh, rear end must be cantilevered...... I think its the real deal...check out the interior in this shot [/url] And this with the spy photo: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silvrsvt Posted December 3, 2013 Author Share Posted December 3, 2013 theres those openings in the upper grill..... Might be the GT350 model they keep talking about...the Red one on Autoweek looks like a nicely optioned V6...I didn't see any badges identifying the model at a quick glance.

PREMiERdrum Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Whoop, there it is. Love it. It looks like a Mustang, but it doesn't look old or retro. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvrsvt Posted December 3, 2013 Author Share Posted December 3, 2013 I like the exterior...the car shown is kinda bland looking, but not cheap looking. The interior I'm mixed on....I have to see it in person... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Immediate thoughts: I like how the three bar theme from the rear is continued in the light bars in the headlights. No C Scoop at all....all the better for it to. I like it clean. Hate the body colored rear diffuser. Looks horrid, luckily an easy fix with a can of spray paint . I hope the pictures of the interior are not doing it justice. The quarter window came out perfect. Of all the different versions that were rendered, this one looks the best thankfully. All in all, nice evolution of the Mustang design. I've got a feeling that this is one of those cars that will look drastically better in person where all the lines are really brought out.

I agree...it almost shows in that clipped out Youtube video and once you add some "trinkets" to the styling, it will really stand out.

jpvbs Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 I guess I'll have to be, "that guy." I am rather underwhelmed by this. To me it feels like another refresh of the 2005. From what I've seen at this point at least. I'm hoping better photos will change my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordmantpw Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Date Recording App. So teenagers can replay "that moment" over and over and over again! (I know you meant 'data', but couldn't resist). I'm not quite sold on it...I'll have to see it in person. I'm getting a bit of an Audi TT vibe from it. From the greenhouse maybe? I just can't pinpoint it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 A lot of what I'm reading on other sites is that it looks too similar to the current Mustang. I think (like the second gen C300 looks in images vs the first gen) that the differences will stand out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can't pinpoint it. I think the page fold in the middle of the side shot sort of distorts the length and shape of the greenhouse, giving it a lot more of a teardrop shape like the Audi TT than what it likely actually has.

Yeah, I knew that page fold was playing tricks on my eyes. Hopefully that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I can tell by those shots that the only thing it shares with the existing car is the silhouette. I know it will look vastly different. I'm just regurgitating the various automotive blog comments. I think they'll be in for a treat once they see it on the road or at a show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 (edited) What is the deal with that interior photo? The other pics all look like studio releases, and that interior pic looks like a cell phone snap. Speaking of interior, are those gauges in the center of the dash (between the air vents)?
