Topnotch's Clever Lil Avatar

I thought I'd clean up what looks to me like a mildly stretched and vague use of a real 2010 pic.

Left is just unstretched and right is smoothed.



Topnotch is such a sneaky tease...

You could be on to something here. Is it real or is it Guigario?

Looks like they cut 6-8 inches off the *** of the current model.

The proportions (width to length) look wrong for some reason. When I first saw the avatar I wondered, because it looks slightly different than the standard stang...even stretched. (cool)

The Guigario had an all glass roof. A single piece of glass went from hood to trunk.

Though I suppose they could have just photoshopped a roof in.

Mr Topnotch is a superb Photoshopper. Pity he doesn't work for Ford's design team. Alas, I believe it's a 'chop of this photo. But, it does go to prove that with a little work, Giugiaro's concept could be turned into an awesome production car.

I like it too. I was wondering about that when I joined not too long ago. By the way, did anyone read today about the new website for the release? Its on Autoblog. Oops, just saw the thread above!

It helps to have a folder called "G-Mustang-Pics" in my bookmarks

Fooled me. Thought I was onto something. Oh well. I'm sorry I caused a ruckus, and I'm sure T's original was quite stunning. I'll keep digging and stop purporting to have a scoop when I don't.

The avatar is still clever and I'm sure T is sneaky.

Topnotch clearly has a great talent. He needs to share it more here

If the 2010 turns out anything like his images, I'll be a happy man!

Well, supposedly the Guigario concept is a warped and exaggerated version of the actual 2010 Mustang, so there may be a lot of truth in this chopped pic.

No need to apologize, it looks very good cleaned up. And I think its good to remind everyone just how good hips look on the Mustang!

My apologies, but I happen to be in the minority who doesn't like the Guigario concept at all. IMHO the Guigario with it's overall stubby profile, and taller rear end. Seems to look more like a Hot Wheels/cartoon caricature of a disfigured 67-68 fastback. I also don't like the hip line being raised above the doorline, as this just exaggerates the high waisted beltline even further.

At any rate: I hope that I haven't offended anyone, for that wasn't my intention.

I'm not a big fan either, though I have grown to like it a bit more than I used to.

I don't think the hips will be that pronounced.

I'm with you all the way, for I don't think they'll be as pronounced either. In fact when looking at the 2010 spy photo's, it almost looks as though the hip line, is actually below the doorline. Thus visually making the rear beltline appear to look somewhat lower.
