I basically really like the F5 Camaro except for the rear end treatment, mainly what I'll refer to as the "upside down" tail lights and resultant awkward cut lines for the bumper. Flip those light over, i.e., the broader section on the bottom, and I think the whole effect would just be that much more cohesive.

Anyway, looks like the F5 is getting close to hitting the streets judging by how finished these look.

Camaro links don't work.

Thanks for the links, should be interesting to see one in person.

It looks funky to me, not cool and sleek at all!

I guess they missed Saleen's influence on Bumble Bee.

The concept and bumblebee looked awesome.

That looks like a mix of rx8,charger,and fuglyness. Without the two tone paint scheme that car is unimpressive.

The front has gotten really pointy, combined with the plethora of faux scoops and absolutely crappy lights (front and back both), it makes the thing look like a kit car and not a good one.

I think one thing is for sure, this car will elicit either the "I hate it" or "I love it!". There won't be many middle of the road people on it. I stand by my guess. About 60,000 units first year. With gas going the way it is, it may not make that.

Pretty detailed...



"The headlights in this pic were probably what Mr. Settlemire was referring to when he talked about running down the hardware store for some temporary lights."


The lights look more detailed than quickies from the hardware store as posted on forums.
I think these things are the final setups?

Wow, at least it has REAL projectors. Think HID's will be an option? Now Ford, is it really so hard to put projector Xenons in a Mustang?!

So many parts look just tacked on, fake, or afterthoughts to me

- The side gills/wanabe slats make it look like the plastic melted and ribbed/bunched up.
- the rear reverse lights look like an afterthought plopped in the middle of the bumper
- the interior layout..nuff said

The overall shape is good, and yes the look hasn't changed much, but the proportions have.

Is there a straight body line anywhere on that car except for the crease down the middle of body sides? It's like the stylists were mandated to make every line on the car have a curve or angle in it.

Was there a markup when the first 05 stangs hit dealer lots?
