the weight of the front end of the car is critical on a rwd platform...the v6 is a very good start due to the fact that almost the entire engine mass is BEHIND the front axle plane; this aids the balance of the car greatly. now, if they could just lighten the base powerplant and move the battery, it would do wonders for the handling of the stang. jackg 90seville 99k

One thing I hope they don't do when they add the hips is make the back bigger. The Mustang already has a fat 
as it is.
The height of the door needs to come down instead of the height of the trunk going up.

With saftey standards being the way they are...
..I don't see that beltline lowering any....
With the trunk...if it was sculpted a bit more... I think it would look a bit more attractive.
Looks good right now, but could use some...toning

forget about the flares...what about the the base powerplant? will ford upgrade to the all aluminum 3.5 instead of the 4.0 cast iron block? if they don't, they missed a golden opportunity to keep the car on the front burner. also, take the opportunity and move the battery to the underside of the rear seat...both those changes will do wonders for the handling and the balance of the car...probably as much as going to irs. the car is just a little too front-end heavy...better balance is the order of the day...in fact, imo, it's more important than the outward appearance of the car...it's what's underneath that counts in a car, not the skin. jackg 90seville 99k

Well, if it will have 'hips', what other human anatomical features will it have?
Just imagine. Of course, we then have to decide if it's a male or female (or in-between?)
