Its not retro..but the stang is..
Yeah...
ok...

I like it... a bit edgy for me...
Like to see if its production ready or will they smooth bits of it out.

AND if its a hit the first year...
Will it be all the Camaro/Firebird guys hoping to get one..and then drop off after the first year....
Questions questions questions

Not as well done as the Challenger but not bad. IMO the back looks awkward from the rear quarter view. Also, the transition from the rear edge of the doors to rear fenders isn't very smooth. It almost looks like the rear fenders have tacked on flairs.

I think that looks hot! The execition is similar to the challenger, inthat it has the 'hips' and a sorter roofline (chopped top).

Well done.

The muscle car wars are back!

Wow it's the late 1960s all over again. First Mustang, next Shelby, now Challenger, and Camaro.

What's next the AMX?

No, the rambler.

Now all we need is the firebird, chevelle, GTX, and the Cougar.

I REALLY REALLY don't like it. The back of it and the wheels both look like they stole them off of the challenger concept and the front looks absoloutly terrible, from the fenders forward.

The grille/front end is reminding me of the Crossfire/Firepower......maybe it's just me.

Still looks better than the clay models.

That's the clay model pic that's been floating around for a few weeks.

GM is really going after the MUSTANG, with all these retro looks. The car does look great, but the front is a little much.

ya, i like this thing a lot better than the challenger. I like it a lot better than how it looked in that first chopped up picture. Its a more modern look than the challenger, and it doesn't look nearly as bloated. I'm curious to know how it would look as a production car.... interesting to think of how the mustang changed from concept to production, gives you an idea of how it could fill out.

I don't see how you can say they stole those wheels of the challenger. Are they really anything that original? Those wheels aren't anything new to me.
