Actually remember browsing through a book at Barnes Nobles about History's worst automobiles. These are just a few I that I could recall. Couple more





Yeah I don't like that 2009 rendering either, but there are alot of cars that are much uglier.

Lalo

that is shamefully ugly...

Lalo

There are uglier cars than that... but no other car would bum out so many people like this would

The sight isn't coming up for me but I just got the new Road and Track. It has a different version on the cover on the cover, with that picture inside. The 09 is horrible, just flat out ugly. The 12 might have some promise but it has a ways to go too.

The one on the cover of the mag looks pretty good. The Shelby & GTR front end influence with a far better looking hood.

Topnotch

That stang has no hips!
(from what I can see)

Looks cool, but other than a shelby+GT front end..the car is the same...
You'd figure they put SOME other chopping in on it, not just front ends. half***sed

future9er24

meh, its just a chop.betcha a nickel it wont look like that

555

Doesn't look like a chop on the cover of Road and track.

V10

Could be a new facia for 2008 - 2008 ( Bullitt? ).
Definately not the next generation 2010 Mustang.

I know exactly which pic it is a chop from too.. Look at the horse...its backwards....

Agent MOO

Those guys at Road & Track flipped the pony? That'a no-no

At least kcart & daor got it right

Moosetang

It is. The inside of that issue says "cover photo illustration by Motor Forecast"
Translation: its a chop based on "best guess" and "insider info".

Well, it's a photo chop thats for sure. Either way I will wait for Ford to make an official comment (which won't be until mid to end of 08). We all know that Ford will not make the next Stang ugly, not after all the way the 05 redesign has been recieved. I actually don't mind it all that much but it's just a render and nothing more, we need to relax before starting the "man the new Mustang is ugly" posts, because this picture is not it. What is interesting is the talk in the article of the base engine being anywhere from 260 to 280, that is a big jump from what we are use to for the V6's. That by assumption would lead me to believe the V8 could be in the High 300's to low 400HP mark, makes sense if thats when the Challenger and Camaro come out. what is scary/ugly is the mention of a hatch back, no offense ment here, but in my opinion hatch backs are ugly, and have no place in modern Stang design. Well either way if they do go for a "clean up" rather then a redesign in 09 I am on board as my current stang will be paid off and I will be looking for another.

WOW!!! That's some detective work. The reflection on the side of the car seals it for me!

Hey, I lost my cell phone last week, do you think you can help find it?

GT98

From what I've read/heard, the orginal design of the 09 Mustang was just to be a new front facia and that was it. When Mark Field came in, he went **** no to this and told the team to start over again with more changes. I think that is why the rumors of the delay in the restyle came about. He did the same to the new 08 F-150, which was also a victim of just refresh and stopped development of it for 2 months so the styling could be totally redone and the whole project was pulled ahead a year to launch early.

unnoticedtrails

why thank you good sir!

I'll keep an eye out for your cell

Boomer

Yeah, just a new front fascia for 09/10 (refresh) I don't think would be good enough to combat the onslaught of competition regardless of engines being offered.

Hips ****it hips

MustangFanatic

Putting aside the fact that it is obviously a chop, I like the evolution. For me, I'd buy a '09 (or '10) Mustang that looked like the R&T chop..
