And funnily enough that detail has bothered me. Always felt stuck in the past when compared to uninterrupted sight lines my other performance cars possessed. Ford really has a tough job here trying to please us all. They should just make it as stunning as they can with performance to match and stop listening to our conflicting suggestions.

Thanks to euro laws, the mustang has no bumper, I think it going to look very face flat from the side profile compared to current model.

Love the look. It does have a Fusion/Focus St design to it, which isn't bad at all. It's the only element of the Fusion that I think looks interesting, the rest if the car isn't as nice. I'm sure this will look better overall from all body panels. If the 2015 Mustang came out before the Fusion then no one would've minded as much.
AM VANTAGEesgue etc.
Im cautiously optomistic...cant wait...enjoying the striptease.

Ya, but the supposed Ferrari style flat crank engine goes into a 4 seater that looks like basically a wider, aggressive Fusion. Which honestly is a good look, but it's not what I had hoped for. They didn't reach far enough if you ask me.
On the other hand, you have the C7, which if you've seen it in person looks like a Ferrari and handles like one too. At 460hp the power really should have been closer to 500 than 450 but it's still very respectable. The Z06 version will bring the heat against the best anything from Italy has to offer under $300,000.

personally i dont mind at all the merging of the styling elements. the fusion is recognized for being a pretty aggressive design for a midsize sedan and the mustang looks like its gonna turn that styling up a few notches. the mustang is going to share less with the fusion than the M4 shares with the 320i.
well done so far, cant wait to see the rest of the car

Under the camo it is very clear that the sides will have a big radius/ rounded corners like the clay model shown above. Unless yet again they padded it underneath that it looks that way, who knows.
