I was hoping from day 1 to get a Mustang that basically carries the current design elements and morphs them into Aston Martin Vanquish type proportions. Big wide hips, carved in doors, pronounced ledge running across the side of the car at window height, sleeker and lower roofline. Still from everything I have seen and know, it "kind of" will be like that.
Take these proportions, and make it "mustang" and it would be the sexiest car ever made.

Good work but this is not what I'm seeing under there at all. The front grill opening is quite clear and it looks to be very rectangular like the 65-66 but pushed further forward, and the headlights are also clearly a larger half circle as the main part and then narrow and extend back rather than just a sweeping Fusion/Taurus look. The fog lights also look to be quite small and more or less rectangular and I don't see the Focus ST lower grill that you've suggested either. I have a feeling that it might be taking quite a few cues from the 65-66 rather than the 69-70 like the 05 and up.

Fantastic I can only wish it would look that good.
C scoops are stupid useless bow to the past. I sure hope they finally get rid of that fake mid engine styling gimmick. The front side fender scoop if done for function will help evacuate air from under the hood making less lift and aiding engine cooling.

C-scoops are not a "fake mid engine styling gimmick". They're a nod to the original Shelby GT-350R, which had functional brake cooling inlets in that location. They were then carried through on later Shelbys purely as a styling element.

I don't see the harsh slope in the front end/nose/hood area making it though...even with the heavy camo on the mules I don't think that is part of the design...everything else could be close though!

The side "scoops", or indentations were in fact a design element taken from the original Mustang 1 concept (mid-engined V-4)...so yeah, they sort of are a "fake mid-engined styling gimmick". The GT350R models did not have the side scoops, nor did the original 1965 street models...those were introduced in 1966 (street cars only), and how effective they actually were cooling the big drum brakes is debatable. I'm not saying they weren't cool-looking, but it won't break my heart if it's a feature that's gone on the new car.
