What I think would look cool for next mustang
I think a nice look that still looks good today is the 1970 GTR.
The thing about it is it's small but still has a muscle car look.
If some one wants to post a pic, thanks.

While that is a good looking car, why would we pull design cues from a 1970s Japanese vehicle?

Looks cool. But as noted above...no. Maybe a good look for a future Nissan product though.

I agree. I'd love to see Nissan build something like that again... but I don't think it should influence the next gen Mustang.

They already built it...it just weighs 2x as much and is 2.5x as big. Thank God(zilla) that it's ridiculously fast.

I just love the look and how small it is. I hope the next mustang is about the same size that would really lighten it up by a lot.

Given the crash protection required these days, I think the only way we'd ever see a Mustang with a footprint that small would be if it were to become a 2-seater. And that would alienate a lot of potential owners, me included.

I love the look of that old GTR though

Bingo we have a winner. I did see fast five that GTR looked real good. After seeing the movie I couldn't get that car out of my head.

This is a real hot car coming out early next year not that powerful. If the next mustang looks close to this I will buy for sure.

Haha, I'm not seeing that either I'm afraid. I would hope the Mustang doesn't look like that.
