I see the Mustang influence, even with the new Taurus grill, but the first thing that popped into my mind was "Probe"...please, no! I can't take that again.

the frontend is OK, but I think whoever sketched it up saw IronMan the night before... the backend is a busy mess in my opinion.
the front doors hinged mid-cowl is a fresh idea- I think that might make a more doable gullwing setup as the doors could be tipped more for headroom getting in and out- and should be pretty strong compared to roof only hinges...production line door installs could be a breeze too.
I still would be curious to see pop/slide doors tried on a 2 door like the mustang- minivan doors might seem like 'minivan doors', but they are practical compared to mile long doors that still have almost no rear entry room. I think they could come up with a way to make the top single, and hide the double doortrack in the rocker cover if they tried...

There are some elements I like (I'm seeing some Aston Martin, Mustang, and Shelby GR-1 in there), but overall I'm a bit lukewarm on this little exercise. Too many design elements mushed together, but perhaps that's the point of a design study...

That was the first thing that popped into my head, this looks very Genesis. And I have to disagree with those that think there are Mustang cues in it - where do you see any Mustang influence?

I believe I read this was the basis for the new Fusion/Mondeo that is to be released. I don't think this is at all going to be the new Mustang. I like it..do I think its a Mustang? No...

The grill and hood look like something I could see on a Mustang. The hood overhang of the grill is something that caught my eye. Nothing's identical, just things I could see being incorporated into a redesign.

Merged all 3 threads...we don't need one in each section.
This is not a mustang, nor mustang related.
If anything this shows the new design direction that Ford will be taking with a lot of their vehicles...which is really nice.
(which after reading the article is exactly what it is... Kinetic Next (or Kinext

Not bad at all.
But for some reason every time I see it I keep thinking Alfa Romeo GTV.
