While i will admit its unique (for the brand) its just the fact that it takes so manydesign cues from other companies that it hardly even resembles its own shape. To me, it looks like a distant relative of a corvette rather than the next generation. Its also an odd combo of designs. Maybe the design will grow on me once i start seeing physical pictures of the car, which should be soon!

Front looks good. Back is pretty horrendous. How do they go from swoopy front to square back?

I like the front end...........even if it IS very much like the Viper. The backend looks.........OK, if a bit overly fussy.

But it's the loss of the rear glass clamshell I'm going to miss. This is a unique design cue (stolen by the NSX, but that doesn't exist any more). This new side profile and new window is just so cookie-cutter generic

I like the front, hate the rear. I'd have to see it in person though.

It looks like japanese interpretation of the corvette. Basically if the GT-R guys designed one. I like parts of it but as a whole so far it's not sitting well with me..the real big issue for me is that rear glass and those goofy little quarter windows. Long big and flat. Looks like the back glass from a 77 vega actually no scratch that the Vega had more curves in the back glass.

It's not bad. They definitely left a lot of attributes from the Stingray Concept. But I think GM is still trying too hard to turn concepts into production vehicles, without regard to day to day feasibility.

I hope so. I just want to know how close the drawings are to the 'real thing'. So we'll know when the 2015 Mustangs start to be driven around with the camouflage and drawings start being done, if they are close to the real thing or not.

I'm sure its gonna be a great car, but the looks ... Its sad that Corvette with 50 years of history went to copy a Nissan GT-R ...

Again... Don't really see a problem. I don't care too much for history if a car. It's going to have to change eventually. And this looks bad ***.

Same goes for the mustang.
