Yup looks like a bunch of ugly rejected design proposals to me...

 

 

I like the fastback aspect to it. It should be skinnier from the mid to front end, lose the ground effects/side skirts, and add 3 vertical led strips to each tail light and you've got yourself a concept mustang. Also I might shorten the car up and move the rear end a little closer to the end of the car so we won't get the excessive butt the current mustangs have.

 

I am. It's clean, and not overly designed and busy. Still, big knock against it, and several other here is too much visual mass. Give me a sleek, lithe Mustang. Put the Muscle in the motor.

 

tortured over styling. Not sexy at all. Too trendy, not enough classic styling cues, and I not referring to Mustang here, but just good design language.

 

I see Lancia Stratos in the rear of the roof, not Mustang.

 

One of the best I've seen for combining modern with classic Mustang cues, bringing a global face to the car, while remaining true to the Mustang. Further refinement on this seem the way forward IMHO.

 

Posted this in the Design discussion too.

Interesting.

I appreciate the effort but this looks like a composite and generic replica of a few different fastbacks from the 1960's including Barracuda, Avanti and Torino refitted with new bumpers to meet safety standards. This is not a forward modern design at all. Retro is over. Period. Evolving surfaces with new shapes while retaining a few recognizable Mustang design elements is what the styling of the next Mustang should be about. Also never show a pony emblem running the wrong direction.

 

I think it just looks like a lame attempt to make an Austin Martin look like a Mustang.

 

It's aston martin... And would it really shock you if you saw some DB-9 in it? I mean look at the new fusion.

 

Nope. Wouldn't surprise me at all to see hints of AM in the next Stang. Only problem is that red Photoshop is just too similar to the AM Vantage V8 it's based on.

 

I have no clue if im right or not but doesnt Ford still own like 12% of Aston or somethin?

 

"Paint it black"

 

15%.....unless that's changed since the sale

Black makes everything better

 

Once you go black you never go back!

 

That's like complaining your girlfriend looks TOO much like Kate Beckinsale!

 

Which of course would be horrible. I mean, looks so close but its just not the same. Always leads to dissappintment

 

I was looking at an Audi R8 today and the side blade reminds me of the mustangs upper and lower quarter scoops. Really like the design of the 04 Mustang Coupe concept. The faux quarter scoops liked pretty nice when they lined up. Would be pretty cool to do something similar but make them functional.

 

Huge difference IMHO. KATE BECKINSALE is a knock-out, but the car is not all that and a bag of chips! Simply take the present car, soften the sharp edges, and make it a true fastback! It would be great if the Fox size could come back, but that's just wishful thinking.
