How can you think it's accurate?

There's nothing to go off of.


It's definitely a nice design, but it's very luxury coupe looking, not a muscle car. I will be pissed if they wuss out with something looking like this.

Ford has the opportunity to shock people with something "stunning", as it has been described. This is not going to do that. It looks like an Audi S5 with a Fusion slapped on front.


Ford would do better to badge this Probe 2.0




With "stunning" inspirational designs that can be looked to such as front-engine Ferraris (California, 599, F12), Aston Martin, Maserati, etc Ford needs to tread along this path of "stunning" if they truly want to impress.

There's no reason to not pull something like that out of their hat.

 

I don't like it because it looks bland and indecisive. To me, it looks cobbled together. Mustang cues are placed on it to satisfy those who want it to have them, not because they work.
Having worked in the car biz for over a decade, I have seen many new models released across multiple brands. I love seeing change and evolution. I think that a majority of car buyers do too. But that picture reminds me of the late '80s, waiting to see what the new Mustang was going to look like, to open my issue of Super Ford and discover that the Probe almost was it! Scary times!

 

I don't like any of them


Maybe because they all look like chops that are too bland like an Accord or too aggressive like a hot wheels car.

Seriously

In two years I haven't seen one yet

 

Eh, it looks better than most Mustangs since Mustang II came out. And if that is just what the base looks like, it should be fine.

 

If it has the Fusion front.. Even though I like it on a Fusion I will be glad I have my 13

 

Agreed! All these renders seem to be going for that nose/grille. I thought I had read somewhere that the nose would be unique and not the style direction that Ford is going with on other vehicles. I hope this is true.

 

Yea I read the same thing idk why people still bother with the Fusion front end.

 

I've seen pictures of the 2014 Mustang. Can't tell you from whom or where he got them don't want to get any body in trouble. The render below is very close to the finished car. The version I saw was probably a base version or it just had the older standard wheels. It had the mustang in the grill but not the heavy molding you see in the render below. the sides were very close they got rid of the silly fake side scoops. and the quarter window is along the line as in the picture below. The tail had three vertical lenses and still had the silly fake gas cap. There were two headlights in the slit like lamps and two fog or driving lights on either side in the scoop thing along with a brake duct. The front looked more aggressive than that rendering.

 

When did you see it?

 

I saw a whole parking lot full of 2014 Mustangs today. All for sale, with rebates to boot.

 

 

I do wonder if his description accurate. It does seam plausible. I picture the tail lamps to be three individual red lenses on each side, kind of narrow. That's just a feeling, I may be very wrong. If it does have a third tail light high like on the mule, then maybe the tail lights are very prominent. What do you guys think?

 

Hard to say. I think the high 3rd brake like on the mule is just a safety thing bc the camo covers so much of the tail lamps.

 

I miss typed I meant 2015. I saw the pictures just a couple days ago. I really don't want to go into more detail than that. There is a white render that looks even closer. It is a good looking car even in base form. It has to appeal to a wide range of people and with a doodad here and there can do that.

 

Found this on mustang6

 

Although, with the slanty eye headlights, it kinda looks like a Charger coupe with a Fusion grille.

 

Everything looks dope except for that grill and headlights

 

Works for me.

 

Not me.

Ford Probe 2:

 

To my knowledge, only the current GT/CS comes standard with side scoops, unless you buy the optional styling package.
