The front end is a vast improvement. Even Saleen can see that the stock front end of the 2015 doesn't look right.

Sorry to say, but that's ugly.
Looks like a chevy /dodge combo, and takes away from the mustang design.
Just my 2 cents!

This makes me like the 2015. Looks much better than the stock front end.

It's almost a blatant effort to reach back to the 10-12 body style with that lower valance.

Look at Saleens past. They would always integrate the diffuser into the front bumper and paint it body color. That diffuser looks like a slightly modified CS/Boss diffuser.

The grille reeks of 10-12 as well. In addition, trying it's hardest to cancel out the Fustang 15 face by insinuating a too thin bumper line and unifying the headlights with the grille.

Just saw another article stating that Sean Smith designed the new Saleen Mustang. That explains it.

Where is Phil Frank?!!

The new mustang has a pretty fugly front end. This is a big improvement. Now let's see what they can do with the equally fugly back.

So now instead of the Fustang (a term I don't personally agree with), you can have the CamChargeStang.

I'm a Saleen lover through and through... but this SCREAMS Camaro.
I would rather see it painted body color... all over besides the center portion of the grille.
Saleens to me haven't always looked like raw track mustangs.. they usually look more refined, more elegant (IMHO).
