I have no problem with S550 taking inspiration from Aston Martin (they, for me, are the most beautiful cars on sale presently) but the problem with using a photograph of the Vanquish as a starting point is.........the end result still looks like a slightly modified Vanquish

Don't get me wrong, that's a great render (much better than anything I could ever achieve) but I think when we see the real thing, there won't be such an obvious Aston influence. Hope that makes sense.

For what its worth though, if you've seen some of the concept drawings, I'm very jealous

 

Future? This is a Aston DBS renders on the Vanquish.

In any case, I like it. I want an evolved modern Mustang rather than a completely new direction.

 

Would the OP care to verify his assessment that the 50th Anniv model will be the new body style?

 

I just hope they ditch the M82 6 speed and use a T56!!!!

 

Ok the 15' will likely be faster, handle better, and all around be a "better" car from the inside; but at what expense? Looking like a taurus/fusion? No thanks

 

When you guys look at the 2015, you have to imagine that this is what the mustang would have been if not for the introduction of the retro style in 2005. I think its a good step, very modern looking lines.

You can't compare retro to modern.

 

I'm sure it'll look more Mustang than that.

 

I like it! I hope you are right.

 

That is a beautiful car, by the way!

 

That would be quite retro to move backwards to an over 20 year old, very mechanical and notchy 6-speed. How about just not having the shifter for the MT82 remotely mounted?

 

If it looks like an Aston that much, bring it on. That's one sexy lineup of vehicles.

 

If you are referring to the S197 possibly being used as a 50th anniversary, the answer is no.

What Ford choses to release as the 50th anniversary model is not something I can definitively say, because I don't really know. But I'm almost certain the MY 2015 will be the "50th Anniversary" edition car just as has reported . The 2014.5 car, IMO, is a myth.

Again, I've only see concept renderings and a few models, so how Ford choses to label and market the car isn't concrete information I have.

 

Then you've missed the point. This is what the next mustang is moving towards. Traditional mustang is still in the design DNA, but it's going forward to a new generation.

That Lincoln will go over about as well as a turd in a punchbowl...

 

dont like it

 

You'll change your mind when you see it up close.

Again, what I said earlier about using the 2014 Vanquish as a starting point was intentional for a reason.

 

So you took an AM, and traced a GT500/2013 style front with some different lights.

I'd guess its about as close as all the other chops out there that utilize the same style/shaped grille with portions and lines all wrong.

What's the back look like?
