That Motor Trend sketch is ugly and I remember it well. My friend from school thought it was "tight" and I thought it looked like a hideous ricy Saturn-ish piece of junk.

Dan

Exactly. However, I did and still do like that sketch quite a bit. But again, for a facelift, not a redesign.

Man, that pic brings back memories of when this all started. 2005 seemed like an eternity away. Its REALLY scary to realize how long and far this has all come.

Punisher

Ford should make it...looks just like what this world needs:

The Next Generation Ford Probe!!!!!

Dan

I hope you're serious.....cause I think we should have continued the Probe instead of the Cougar. It would have been a totally different market than the mustang.

The Deviant One

Uh...No!

Well, actually, if Ford made this thing a four door they could go in competition with the accord, Acura TSX, etc. But then again, its just a stupid idea. :nono:

Ripstang

I agree with you Dan the cougar should have been called the probe ...and cougar should be built useing the 2005 mustang platform, createing another rear wheel drive mid-size muscle car with those that want more luxury with sportyness.

autothing

Well, the Mercury Messenger could one day take the Mustang platform to a new, upgraded place...



Except for the zigzag lines on the headlights, it looked amazing in person. (which means we'll never see it, I know)

i coulda swore though that i saw a pic of the real car that looked like this? am i wrong? i thought i saw it on a car website?any info?

André

I believe it was determined to be photochops, there was a silver one and a blue one if I remember correctly... maybe somebody can post them.

66ponyman

maybe they were chops...dunno...but maybe brad or someone has a pic of them and can post them...just curious...i remember the blue one

i always liked this version the best. might be too retro for some but i thought it looked good. theres another sketch from the front of this out there somewhere but i couldnt find it.

TampaBear67

How Bout a Bullitt Version of the Blue One?

TampaBear67

Anyone Remember This One?

svtdriver

Yeah isn't that the concept drawing for the scion TC?

I agree, I think they should of continued the Probe, I used to own one when I was in college. I also agree that it's not even in the same class as the Mustang, it would compete more with the Eclipse and Celica. Put a good V6 in the GT version and you would have a Japanese compact sports car killer.

Merc Ghost

I always thought Ford should have put the Falcon's I6 Turbo into the Mustang.

66ponyman

that bullit verisn of the blue one is awesome....good job...ne other pics out there?

André

Here is another one from Motor Trend...
