So, some months ago I had the privilege of seeing some concept drawings and models in different phases of 50th anniversary Mustang stuff.
I decided to put my hand to the test and reproduce what I saw.
This is VERY close to what will be the finished product.
As much as the front does share similarities in many ways to the Fusion and Evos concepts, it reads very much like the current GT500 does from the front. The flow is very different and sporty/modern but the overall look feels more like a mustang than it does the others.
Please excuse my amateur art skills, but here it is:

Scaring you?
Sticking with anything remotely similar to the current platform will sink the brand for many reasons.
First of all, "purists" are the very few, who cry about every new design that is released. As much as the mustang faithful, including myself, love our retro styled and 1st gen mustangs, it is time to move into the 21st century. There are those that are still love drunk on the New Edge styling. Let them, but to move forward, a repetition of any of the former is a bad play.
Most people who "hate" this look will see it in person and instantly change their minds. Of that, I can guarantee.
If the mustang looked like a lamborghini or a ferrari, people would still complain. Who doesn't want to drive a car that looks like that? Only a small minority.
Second, the current platform is completely outdated and as aerodynamic as a truck. It kills mpg, high speed handling and performance. Bringing the car in and tight will fix much of that.
FORD has done EVERYTHING right with the 50th anniversary, and the only ones that will scoff at the idea of change (in the right direction mind you) are old farts and stubborn people stuck in their own ways.
Fortunately for FORD, most people that will buy this car don't give two $#!T$ about "sticking to the tried and true" approach.
I'm shocked at the amount of negativity that has been spread about the 2015 this last year. The car will be, by far, the best Mustang ever in every single category you can come up with.

Most of us have a good number of months before we will likely see something that makes or breaks it.

Was this your base image? The wheel spokes are aligned in an extraordinarily coincidental way. The building at the c-pillar and the railing above the fender are a match as well.

There's a reason I didn't use the Evos as the base image, because the overall silhouette of the 2014 Vanquish matches what I have seen more appropriately than the Evos does.
I used a base image because of my lack of ability to follow perspective in a drawing and keep things to scale and proportionate.

Every car marque has a style or look that is maintained throughout the production of the vehicle, prime example is BMW 3 series and it's instantly recognized grill and body lines. Therefore, as long as FORD evolves the style/look of the mustang, as BMW have with the 3, they will continue to be successful. I believe they will do that with the 2015 and it will be successful, they have got to bring the chassis into the 21st century which will improve the car dramatically.
The only problem I see is the aftermarket will have a huge learning curve and there will be a definite time lag for aftermarket parts on the 2015.
I like the new verion and I like the current version.

Thanks
