jedikd, I apologize....I'm not attacking you or your point of view. I completely agree with you that it's crazy to argue about a car very few have even seen. J Mays' comment is the only one I find troubling....I understand the new Mustang needs to be lighter (probably a little smaller too) not only for export sales, but for North American sales also. I also believe Ford needs to "reset" and get away from the retro look that started with the 2005 (I love the 2005-2013's, but they are getting old).
---------------------------------------------------
I'm not sure how profitable it would be for FOMOCO to sell between 5,000-10,000 vehicles overseas......the car would need to be converted to RHD in some markets (UK, Ireland, most of Asia, and Australia) and would need to meet safety, carbon, mpg, etc. requirements too (and we all know Europe is **** about regulations).

No need to apologize, I absolutely agree it needs to be lighter and a bit smaller and a fresh design. Looking forward to seeing how it will turn out and hopefully it satisfies the mustang faithful as well as newcomers to the Mustang brand. I think everyone here has the same goal, which is to ensure many years of future Mustangs.

Maybe the whole point is to attract a new younger generation for sales in years to come. The 2010 is my first Mustang and honestly I wouldn't have owned any of the previous cars. I am looking forward to a new generation Mustang.

I agree ! it looks like queerbate

I would totally do a full rendering if I knew how to use Photoshop (going to learn). I'm limited to using paint and some stuff like shapes and depth are really difficult to simulate.

I really do love this thread, I think it's pretty cool to see a bunch of enthusiast share their idea of what a Mustang should look like.

In the last rendering I see plenty of Mustang influence like sn95, new edge, Evos and my personal favorite the 1968 fastback.


Nice, I really like the details looks pretty cool.

The concepts do not look like the American muscle we have come to expect

I wonder people thought when the mustang went from the 68 to the 69 the another change in 70 and a whole new design 71-73 with horse power reduction to the mustang 2 bet they had the same conversation we are

I loved the Evos concept the moment I layed eyes on it. I think its new, fresh and really kind of catapults anything Ford currently has into the future. I believe if done correctly and with enough care, a new age Mustang can be created using the Evos styling ques. That said, if things aren't arranged in exactly the right order and with exactly the right style it could also be a disaster. This is how I feel about the current Camaro. Whenever I look at the Camaro all I can think about is how they had a chance to do so much and they ended up with that bozo looking thing. Ford really should be very careful. They don't want to end up in that boat. Amazingly to me they are selling Camaros the way they are. I never thought it would go this well for them. I'm betting they sell just because people are Camaro fans, not so much that they love the car.

They're not concepts released by Ford, they're photoshops from people that do not work for Ford. Go back and look at the rumors archive from 2003-2004 when the S197 was being worked and see how many of those photoshops/sketches look anything like the final product..

Okay speculations of what it might be is that better

--------------------------------------
I'm old enough to remember....and there wasn't near the "talk" for several reasons.

First, manufacturers changed and updated designs much more often (usually every 2-3 years) before there were so many government regulations.

Second, there wasn't anywhere near the media coverage. You have Car Life, Road and Track, Car and Driver, Hot Rod, and maybe a few more magazines but that's about it.

Third, when September came around the manufacturers hit the air waves (TV and Radio) announcing the new model year and it was a BIG DEAL!!! Waiting for new car releases was HUGE....it's hard to even compare it to anything that goes on today.

When the '71's came out it meant the new 385 series (429 non Boss) engines were now available in the Mustang. The Boss 351 was a pretty big deal too.

Most cars were not really that fast in stock form so anyone who raced them usually modified them....and these cars were almost always a few years old.

By the time the Mustang ll came out in 1974 performance cars from the factory were history. Rising insurance rates and the first oil crisis in '74 put and end to "new" performance cars. We were left with the era of tape stripes, opera windows, Corinthian leather.....we all thought the days of performance cars were gone for good. It took quite a few years but it's a good thing we were wrong about that

I love this, a mix between a Cobra roadster and a Daytona Coupe with a lot of Mustang in it.
