Carscoop has some new renderings they are claiming are really close to the real thing. I hope to god not. This car is super boring. I personally think these renderings have very little character. The front end of the car looks very cookie cutter. I wouldn't buy this car on initial launch. I'd only buy the car if the aftermarket could fix that front end.

looks like a 94-98 with a lame nose.

 

Play with the proportions a little, and I think there's a lot there to like. It does need more work though.

 

looks like a brick lol

 

Too much camaro in the rear view.

 

Interesting...

Fusion coupe front, re-imagined 05-09 rear? Not a fan.

 

yep, that's as close as you'll get a render to the S550 guys.

 

The '13 will be my last Mustang if this is the case.

 

WTF is up with the Camaro roof!

 

Interesting because its the one thats got the most slabsides and hard lines,
to other extremes that are too curvy.
Looks like they spent most of the time on the front...rear looks like a 'quick deadline, finish it up'

Goldilocks still hasn't found her 'just right'

 

Agreed. The rear looks rushed and not as thought out as the front or sides. I like the hips on the rear, but I see a lot of Camaro in them, as well as the bubble roof.

 

If I wanted to buy a Camaro, I would just buy a Chevy one. If Ford decides on anything like this design, my next car will be the new Cuda.

 

So I guess they just completely disregarded the reported louvered tail lights, which might I add were called the coolest part of the whole package by the source. I'm not buying this rendering.

 

its got the shape of a hardtop convertible.

 

I really like the front. Reminds me of Mercedes


The back is terrible though

 

Well it is just a rendering, we'll know Tuesday

 

Why Tuesday?

 

No way Ford would give us a concept at SEMA!

 

Interesting. About what I was expecting to see as far as dimensions, green house and overall lines etc.
I hope the final product has some of a AM Vantage influence rather than all Fusion.
Theres no way IMO that those rear lights remain that 60.s retro however.
I would expect the taillights to be much larger and more edgy.
Also lower with more agressive splitters/diffusers etc.
Dont think the retro guys are gonna like the rear deck that short...but
it could work if it were slightly more fastback-ish.
Just my .02

 

We retro guys would also like to see round headlamps - afterall, this is an "American" icon.
