OMG you people are too funny. There is no way that the current stang will go up in value just because the new body style comes out, he opposite is always true in fact. This isnt going to be the next mustang, it is a design exercise. Ford is basiclly looking for other ideas outside of their design team and took this opportunity to do just that and get the creative juices flowing. Will the next mustang have some of these styling cues? Possibly, and hopefully. If you can not see the mustang styling in this car you dont know what you are looking for. I think it is obvious. The front end and the grill jut scream mustang, it is the ONLY car that has ever had that face. The hips and fast back are very Mustang, and some of the things that unfortunately arent as noticeable in pics as they are in person are the very subtle muscular lines that add to this beautiful Italian influenced flowing design. It has some very sharp ridges and body lines that cut into the side of the body that have have been a long time signature of a mustang. But I do agree that at a glance I can see how it looks like many other european cars like the BMW, but more so like cars like the new Aston Martins and Jagaur body lines. Funny thing is that not everyone will ever be happy. Most people have been complaining since the introduction of the S197s that it isnt much like European cars and now that it does have some hints of Euro styling everyone is hating it.

Nice pics and vids Bill, did you get them all up yet? I have over 900 pics from the show I still need to upload but havent had an internet connection for the last couple of days, I am using my bosses comp right now at work so perhaps if he wouldnt mind I can start uploading tonight while here.

Oh and Bill, thank you very much for bouncing early before lunch....I had lunch with a couple of the Lambo models!!!!! Very nice girls.

 

How about those mirrors? They go from truck mirrors to mirrors the size of an eyeball.

 

Yup, all up on the link I sent you.

btw, You suck. (I'm just jealous)

 

well since I didnt get a PM Im assuming its in an email so Ill check now, and once I get my pics up Ill post a pic of which ones, oh and the hot blonde with the red low cut push up top at the Lotus booth is REALLY nice!!! I got stuck in the booth for about 45 minutes while CBS filmed some shots for a show and I couldnt get out of their area.....or did I not want to????

 

For what this car is it is super hot. Remember it is an Italian concept of the Mustang, not the next body. That said even if it was the next body I would be getting it. As bad as people are saying it is I don't find it as horrible as when I first saw the 94' SN-95. That was a sad day for the stangs which didn't get nice again until 99'. Hate the first SN-95's so much that I would take a 74 over a 94 anyday. As long as Ford never revisits the dark days of the first SN-95 platform I will remain a happy man.

 

I'm with you on the '94. I was very disappointed when they came out.

 

I'm headed there on Thursday... maybe I'll get to see it. It looks nice.

 

I might be going back with a friend on Wednesday or Thursday this week

 

I like it and would buy one if the would change the rear-end
