From this angle, it's very, very aggressive
Agreed!

Could the inset surrounds to either side of the radiator be bezels for a non-round fog lamp assembly?

Nevermind, I see honeycombing behind them so probably not.

Also, interesting to note that this shot doesn't have the squashed honeycomb grille we've seen behind the shroud recently.

While they could be, not sure how that would look.
The grille fogs may be a thing of the past. It would take away from the aggressive wide open shape.

Looks like design cues from the ST hatches, but more aggressive.

When I saw the camo car up close it was obviously sporting a fake front end.

looks great with what appears to be a return of the 10-12 power dome and it almost looks like there are going to be hood vents flanking it... cant wait to see the rest of the car. plus maybe some extractors behind the front wheel well... bmw just used these on the 4 series and new M4 to ventilate the wheel wells for better aero performance

spy pics look like ford accepted ppl were gonna get some shots of this angle as the head lights and fog light area are still heavily camoflaged. one of those decisions where they just have to deal with giving up some of the design to the public in order to get the proper testing done.

I like it. Very promising. I can't wait to see the whole thing...and then order one.

Hmmm, undecided. Need to see more before I like it or hate it.

Not feeling it myself so far. Too much "Fusion inspired" for my taste.



I am however still interested in seeing the rear end! You can see the bottom of it and it looks like it is bringing back the plastic, but kinda looks interesting (from what I can see).

I honestly didn't expect such a "corporate" look, but...I like it! It's an aggressive and layered designed with details overlapping details and yet it doesn't appear too busy or cluttered (if that makes any sense to you guys). I think more people will jump onboard once the rest of the fine details are uncovered, such as the lighting elements of the headlights, hood scoops, vents etc..

The grille looks to be inspired by the current GT500 with those corner grilles

Looking at the whole facia it's still very mustang. Look at the 68 GT500 for reference.

What I also see is a shot at the M4. A more modern Mustang look. My opinion is that they might be finding their inner 911. I really like this and am excited to see what we see next.

I suspected that the EVOS was the 2015 Mustang Concept car, this just helps confirm my suspicions.....

I think I like it

My very first impression was that it looked pretty **** mean, which is a good thing for a Mustang. I get the Fusion comparison some of you are making but this nose is much more aggressive. The fogs in the grill look to be gone which is a good thing imo. Looks very promising.
