I guess his screams badass mustang

 

Again the resizing meant due to the slightly different angles and distance the two shots were. I did not I repeat did not reshape. and I do not believe I said I cut anything from the shape only that I cut from thew picture. Geeezzzz I give up.. I know from working a photo editor for years what a match is...

 

Oh, heck yeah. Lol

 

^ agreed, they should've done it the other way around.
Chevy redesigned the Malibu & Impala with styling cues from the Camaro.
Porsche BMW & even Ferrari are building 4dr cars that resemble their coupes that already exist.
Ford did it a little backwards here..

 

Only thing I have read is the Detroit Auto Show in January. The show is actually called something else now like North American Internal Auto Show or something.

 

This picture is why I trust the Ford design team. They basically had the whole car finished, but decided NOT to go with this rear design 10 years ago.. and it was a good call. They'll look at all the options and pick the best one.

 

You don't say!

 

2+ years from now only a select few enthusiasts are going to remember which one was released first. as we all know car designs are not drawn up at the last minute and for most of the design period the mustang and fusion (as well as the fiesta update and future updates of the focus and taurus no doubt) were being worked on concurrently not one inspiring the other but both being drawn up to align with the future image the Ford BRAND wants to represent which clearly is "standout in a crowd" style, refinement, aggressiveness.

What we are going to see is the MOST aggressive interpretation of that language in the mustang and other takes on it in the fusion, focus, fiesta etc etc based on their role in the model hierarchy and target customer.

Personally i like the direction they are going in, based on the interviews with FORD execs out there, the limited amount of the car we have seen in these spy shots and the general profile of the camo, I have no doubt the car will look distinctly mustang, but I also like that now it will look distinctly ford as the same time, I do not believe those two concepts are mutually exclusive as some here do, I think that will only improve recognition and reception of the brand as whole.

 

lets just be greatful this isn't the '15 Mustang. it almost was in '89

 

I agree on that.

 

IIRC...that concept morphed into the Probe.

 

A good rear end is definitely of importance to me :-)

 

I'll bet the quad exhaust from the GT500 will be on the 15 GT...still not sure
about the rear euro light/reflector in the bumper...but I guess its possible.

 

Can't see that on a GT.
Hopefully it'll be a new SVT cue. They look great on the GT500.

I'd love to see the Boss Quad-side exit make a comeback or option on V8s

 

I see FRPP has a Boss side exhaust that can be put on the 13-14 GT500s now

It's only $1k

 

Boss exhaust would be cool. Im thinking they are gonna need something
more muscular since its slimming down and losing weight etc and a
4 inch tip may be the max size on this new platform.

 

Yeah...they are nice: http://www.svtperformance.com/forums...installed.html

 

Glad the Probe wasn't the mustang...but the second gen car was kinda good looking...imo

 

Looks okay but never a real fan of the probe. I just for some reason could never get into the look of them.

 

Please, please let this be the new Lincoln coupe (as opposed to the Volvo I think it is)
