What Gnatsum is referring to is the forward slant of the hood first seen on the charger and NOW on the Ram for 2009.

 

The GT500 does NOT look like a ram. Some of the design cues are similar, but when I see a GT500 it reminds me of the older ones and not of a truck

 

You mean like this?

 

EXACTLY. The GT500 has had that nose long before the ram

 

Oh, I understand why they added the grill extension. I just think it makes the new GT500 look more like a Ram than it does the GT500s of old. If the headlights were less "squinty" the resemblance would be less obvious.

Incidentally, I'd like to see Ford bring back the rectangular foglights for the GT500.

 

Nice work!

 

I totally agree, as the GT500 grille does indeed appear to look more like a Ram's grille. Due because the headlights are receded further back into the front fenders.

On the other hand, if the headlights were moved forward towards the grille more. Then the resemblance would definitely be far less obvious.


IMHO, I think the GT500 would look much better, if it used the same grille which is on the 2010 GT.

 

GT......

 

another

 

those are awesome the grabber blue rendition is probably the closest one weve seen to the actual thing

 

Wow that new GT500 looks really good. Nicely done!

 

Wow! Very nice indeed!

 

anybody else see the similarities.....

 

 

Yes, but only superficially. It's all a matter of execution.

 

m05, what pictures do you see this is in? I see the exact opposite- The Ram grille is flush w/ the headlights, whereas the GT500 grille is waaay further out than the headlights:






I think the 2010 GT500 grille resembles the old Shelby Cobra design, where it sticks out past the headlamps and has the original forward lean:

 

Any similarity the GT500 front end has to a RAM is simply due to general design cues and proportions that are popular in new car designs generally such as a large "chin", forward leaning grill (ie Lancer) and the desire to create an overall aggressive look to both vehicles.

 

Please stop posting this, it's hideous. I see what you're getting at, but the new GT500 actually looks good while that looks like a fast and the furious reject.

Thank you, Clino. That's my opinion too

 

 

Holy **** they both have 4 wheels, 2 doors and headlights.
I think you've figured it out
