i like where it's going. I'd open the bottom grills a little more maybe.

Well, I like it. I also agree that it seems to have taken inspiration from the '10-'12 front end, especially with the black accents.

This however, looks even better!

I don't understand where the hate is coming from with some of you. It's what Saleen envisions their mustang to look like. If you like their version, you can pay extra and get one. I'm sure Roush will put out their own idea of what it should be along with Shelby. I personally feel that Saleen has done a fantastic job fixing the worst part of the new car. Don't forget that in a year from now, there will be body kits on top of body kits available for these cars from smaller companies. That's the one great thing about the Mustang is the variety of customization.

My problem is that it doesn't even look like a Saleen! Those two 2 minute photoshops look infinitely better, and more "Saleen" to me.

Like everything I'm sure Saleen is evolving also. I like the less is more approach on this one. I think they hit it just right. Not over the top Saleen but very clean. Can't wait to see the rest of the car.

Saleens to me haven't always looked like raw track mustangs.. they usually look more refined, more elegant (IMHO).

I don't know if this is a real photo...or a graphic...or exactly what it is. These things are sometimes hard to judge without seeing in real life.

But...I would have to agree, that at least in this image, it looks uncomfortably close to a Camaro......and not what I would be interested in owning.

Well we can point out at least 2 people who lost any respect for not watching or knowing 'Archer'

I'm going to reserve my judgement for when pics of the actual car come out.

My concern is that this is just a "teaser" pic. Saleen would always release it full blown which makes me think this is not finalized. If this does prove legit, then the design team is fumbling. It also leads me to believe that Ford gave them their test mule pretty late in the game.

Below are actual press photos. In case you forgot what the best looking car has looked like since 1999 IMO.

It is a "teaser" pic. hopefully its just one of many rendering concepts they have and they just put it out there to gauge the reaction.

I like it a lot, especially how you made the lower grill round so It doesn't have that "smile" look to it. But there is still something off..can't quite put my finger on it hmmm..

Thanks. I'm no photoshop guy tho. Hopefully someone can render something close to it.

The thing that's off Is the L shaped component near the headlight. That is an unmistakeable trademark design characteristic of the Camaro.

Agreed. I love it.

Reminds me of the first time I saw my old girl. That render brings back memories.

It looks better, it definitely needs some fog lights and the same grill treatment for the lower grill to complete it.
