The side picture makes it seem like a longer version of the 370z. The way the top curves down at a steep angle

The buttons on the steering wheel is pretty much the same layout as a Fusion so it's really not that big of a deal. Glad the Mustang finally got memory seats and Intelligent Access. The Access thing is awesome. Very practical.

I'm just not good with this image. Don't know why. And all those buttons and controls inside will kill somebody looking for the right button for sure.

I'm happy- just paid off the 09, didnt want another car payment, and this one dont call to me at all... Not bad, and surely a great performer, the chevy guys are gonna be worried if GM dont put that camaro on a diet, whats the new mustang gonna be now, 500 pounds lighter than a camaro? ouch.
the look though is just not for me. I hope ford does well worldwide with it, hope it clicks great with the next generation. I showed pics to guys at work, were all 40-60 age, every single person said either, 'not too bad' or 'meh' was kinda weird, nobody really liked it... tonight my teenage boys saw it and went meh...hopefully we are in the minority.
i just kinda imagine how 69-70 fans felt when 71 rolled along...wasnt bad, just different...

I think it's just an ugly hood. Is it wrong to already anticipate the aftermarket hoods?

As much as I don't care for Shelby's styling, this one may need some Shelby touch ups.

I think the bigger story on this next generation stang will be the 4 banger turbo. I predict Ford will sell more 4 banger units in US sales over the 3.7 and 5.0 units. Not combined but more units than the other two engine options. People who are huge fans of turbos know you can't beat a factor turbo set up compared to a aftermarket turbo setup. This car will sell well especially with the ricer ,4 banger turbo enthusiasts. Sure someone who only thinks a mustang should be a V8 will only buy V8 but a V6 guy will easily turn to a 4 banger turbo if it's faster and better fuel mileage. I think that's gonna really take off and shine. A car that can be easily modified to handle more boost to an already factory turbo will sell. My guess its the WrX, Sti and Mitts Evo market Ford will tap into and there will be a zillion aftermarket kits and mods for it.
Not sure what numbers the 4 banger will have but if its rocking 310 HP and 36 mpg highway, look out sales.

When I hear "guard" I just think of the Guard's Red that Porsche offers, but I doubt it will be red considering we already have Race Red.

I would by the 4 cylinder turbo over a V6 Mustang any day. No doubt about it. Having said that, I would never actually buy either one over a V8.

One of the reviews says something about two turbos and about 300+ Horses. I'm interested too see the performance numbers of this one.

The side isn't too bad, I'm not thrilled with the front and I don't like the rear being so very slanted. It reminds me of something I can't remember the name of just yet. I'll dig around for it and see if I can find a picture.

The front looks fine head on. But when looking at the side profile it looks good except for the front corners. The front corners just look garish to me from the side view. I guess I'm really not liking how the headlights wrap the sides. It's ok that they do this but the design just doesn't work.

I like the back. It will look good without a spoiler unlike the 10-13s. They look ok without but definitely need one. I think this will look just as good with as without.

I guess my only real problem is the headlights. I'm not feeling em at all. I like all the rest.
