2015 Saleen Mustang

What do you guys think of this rendering? Looks like a pretty accurate guess, assuming there will be that much Evos in the next Mustang.

Thumbs up

Nice rendering, but it seems most don't expect the "dorito" rear window to survive.

I don't see the signature Saleen wing. There HAS to be a quarter window. It will be a massive :fail: if no quarter window is in place.

There will be a quarter window........but I've got a feeling it won't be like the one we have now.

I like the aggressive front facia on this rendering.

No it won't.
Other mustangs didn't have the Dorito and were perfectly badass.

Whenever I see a Fusion or these renders that use the Fusion front end all I can think of is "Fishy Fishy" from those dumb McDonald's commercials.

Phil Frank is the designer of the Saleen body enhancements. His designs are hand drawn, fabricated as various models, wind tunnel tested, and tweaked for maximum speed. Form follows function with him.

That being said, the artist who rendered that drawing (mot Phil) did a great "artistic" rendering. However, looks are not the only element of the Saleen design.

Considering costs and the trends that we are seeing with SMS now.. I have a feeling the new Saleen mustangs won't even be close to that.

This. That is indeed their trademark as the double chevrons.

That looks like a Fusion coupe to me

I really hope Ford gives us something better in the next Mustang ...

Looks like they used this old 'chop......







And using the exact same headlamps from a Fusion isn't helping.

Yeah I like this. has the quarter window. Pretty sweet. I like the hood on the Saleen and the sides.

Just get away from the fusion front end. Also my kids love the turn signal lights on the back of the new mustang. Very distinctive and connects one generation to the next.

This is way better than that euro thing I last saw. Go that route and the Mustang is in trouble. Stay this sort of look, with the horse power you expect from a mustang and put your money into making it more fuel efficient. Then folks you have winner winner chicken dinner.

Funny. One of these ripped me in the road today. Mainly because I didn't participate. Lol

I couldn't believe that that was the Dart! I've seen them in pictures but this was the first in person.
My college friend had an original Dart. Beautiful blue and silver car with a slant six engine.

That new design is an abomination of the classic.
Here I was thinking the GTO was the biggest F up?

Am I the only one that sees an Alpha Romeo in that "Dodge Dart"?



As for the front end of the Mustang (And Fusion), Ford hired the designer of the Aston Martin Vantage and DB9, and the front end looks almost exactly like those cars.
