That was just a concept drawing done by a motortrend staffer. That was what they conceived it would be like if it evolved from the current body style, prior to talk about going retro. I remember seeing this when I was a junior in hs, 3-4 years ago...

I like the '05 iteration better than the one from M/T. Their version is just a freshened up (and fattened up) version of the previous model. The '05 looks great!

yeah- i remember seeing that concept pic too a few years ago- the front end looks a little too Acura TSX-ish to me- and the rear looks like it came from a Saturn.... :nono:

Don't like the front but the rear is ok, I would have preferred that Ford go with a more modern look, instead of the retro-stang we have now, but I know not many will share my opinion.
) and the rear bumper on that MT drawing.

if you mean "phat" as in fat and ugly and hideous, then i agree.

Although I really didn't like the current Mustang um... till I preordered it... I think after seeing my first 2005 Vette' on the street today that the Mustang will really stand out since it DOESN'T look like anything else on the road today. I still feel the new Corvette looks too similar in the front to the Viper. The new Stang will definitely look good parked next to other Hondas, Chevys and whatever else.

My favorite concept sketch from a mag has to be the blue retro one done a few years before the real concept was unveiled. Somebody have a pic to back me up?
