Interesting. Not a drastic change; but that's also maybe not a bad thing- curious to see the full spec sheet and really diving in depth - Inside and out.
3 dashed LED's a coincidence??

This is what I thought looking at the side profile. The back to halfway up the fenders reminded me of the 370, with a new-look Mustang front attached. 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.

Now to the elephant in the room, how much is it going to be, and is it going to price itself out of competitiveness? Was looking through the Ford site and with all the new stuff added, IRS, keyless, memory seats, heated and cooled seats, blind spot system, sound systems, etc. I'm afraid you're going to be looking at a fully loaded GT being $50K.

No, what's in my mind is domestic...for some reason I'm thinking Buick or Oldsmobile, but that could be off too.
But that back end is reminiscent of what I'm talking about. I guess the slant bugs me. It looks...stretched.
I'm still underwhelmed overall, but it has potential. I think the look (especially the front end) changes considerably by the 3rd iteration. I don't love it, but I'm going to watch it.

I think this is what bothers me about the front; it just doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the car (profile-wise). From the front, I can understand it, but I still don't love it. From the side, it looks like a muscle car front end attached to a sports car.

They may keep some details for the live unveil, but I suspect we won't know exact figures until some time next year. The engine lineup looks to be similar to the Fusion; offer a base NA motor, smaller Ecoboost with similar horsepower to the NA but better fuel economy, then a top-tier engine with more sporty performance.

I agree, I think. I'm just not blown away by it and don't feel like my 2011 is going to look totally outdated and old, like Fox's did when the '95 came out, for example. It feels very evolutionary and not a dramatic update like the C7 Vette is versus the C6. Looking forward to seeing more pictures of different models and hearing all those details though.
I think it does a great job of keeping us loyalists happy while widening the appeal in the US and around the world. Well done Ford.

That is a good thing in my opinion. I think anything retro is going to look ridiculous with this generation but I'm sure that won't stop vendors from trying though.
