This concept car has some lines our Stangs could use!

Don't know if anyone else saw this on Yahoo. http://autos.yahoo.com/blogs/motoram...181749585.html

This is a BMW Zagato Coupe concept car. Im not suggesting our next Mustang should look like this car, but there are deffinitly some nice lines and styling ques here I would love to see on the next Mustang. I love the over all size, maybe a litle shorte on the hood. The swooping back end would work well on the Stang.

I'd like to see the Mustang share a similar profile. Hips aren't bad either.

Some of the BMW reminds me of the new Viper. With the direction these cars are going I hope the Mustang will have the same design translation.

I agree, I like the new Viper. Made it new, but it's still a Viper. Ford needs to do the same.

Either of those will make it certain that I never buy a new Mustang.

These photos capture a lot of details that I could not see well before... And some angles shot more like what you would see live with your own eyes. Whether it becomes Mustang language or not, I still like it.

I have to agree. I never hated the EVOS, but these more candid shots improve my opinion of it. Still not crazy about that rear though...

They both look pretty good to me, just put the 2015 on a diet, lose about 500 lb. and a bunch of inches.

WOW! That's the first time I've truely been impressed by the Evos. Those are great photos and, as has been noted, that's probably because these are more likely the angles you'd actual see in person, rather than up on a motor show stand. The detailing is superb, as are those hips and the full fastback roofline. I still think that concept it too short and stumpy, but I'll be happy to see some of that body-surfacing and detailing on the '15 Stang..............just so long as the overall proportions change, which seems likely.

Apply this to Top Notch's latest sketch, and I'll be happy


(oh, and that paint! Looks like you could dive right in!!!)

This resembles what some of the renders are looking like, better actually. Mustang-ify the front and rear and it might not be too bad! Can we keep the V12?

I think the Evos would indicate only the general design language that would be applied to the '15 Mustang but not specific details and proportions which seem more apt for a transverse FWD couple (Capri III?). Any Mustang interpretation would, of necessity, at least have a significantly longer nose to house a big, longitudinal V8 RWD architecture. I would suspect some modern interpretations of some traditional Mustang design DNA -- tri-tail-lights, side scallops, etc. -- to make it a "Mustang," albeit in a fully 21st century idiom.

Yep, fully agree and the comments made by Mark Hamilton on the other thead would indicate the 'Stang won't be just a lower Fusion coupe (who's styling was directly influenced by the Evos). And that's a good thing!

Oh, and any new Capri would be a Capri IV. The last of the lines were the IIIs, production of which stopped in '87. But a new Capri is another subject for another day
