MASSIVE rear and rear overhang, very vertical rear, pointless side louvers/indentions (not sure what they're called), wheels won't be that big so wheel wells will look huge, etc. A car should be muscle or exotic. This one tries too hard for both, and fails miserably.

Yeah...I'm not feelin' that design. I'm still waiting for the '07 GT500s.

Reminds me of some of the 70's design, just updated and with better paint.

It looks too much like the '70-'73 Mustangs where the roof and back end were pretty much just one piece. It needs something to break up that line. The scissor doors don't do much for me, either. You can buy those from the aftermarket for a couple grand (if that) so now every jackoff who wants to show their car has a kit.

yeah didn't they call some of those like Mach1's or something? idk but I kinda like it, but I've noticed a trend with automakers, headlights are all starting to look alike between various car makers, it kinda reminds me of the EvolutionX |

Well...the Mach 1s were in there, but it wasn't JUST the Mach 1s. Even the Shelby cars made during those years had that same bad design.

Maybe a little similarity, but the 70's mustangs looked awkward in my opinion. You can defiantly see the Italian influence in the cars design, which I personally enjoy the Italian's styles.

This is true...but it's still just retro styling of a newer car. The current models look a lot like a '67 fastback. That Italian blasphemy looks more like a '70-'73 knockoff.

i think it looks more like a mold of the new one into the next gen, i mean i know thats what it is, but ya know more away from using the old cars as a design and building off the current new body style. i like the all glass roof, but i bet that thing is heavy

Hell...there's at least one company in the states (Classic Design Concepts, I think) making glass roofs for the S-197 platform Mustangs. The kicker is that it's lighter than the factory roof and still meets DOT crash safety standards. I just don't like this concept's blocked off lines. It's like a 1970 Mach 1 meets The Jetsons. It's trying to incorporate a traditional muscle car look with too many futuristic elements...and that never works. Just ask the dipshits that designed the new Camaro or the retards that revamped the Charger. Remaking a classic only works when the changes are subtle, not overwhelming.

Personally I don't like the look of most of these new cars they've been designing, however, I do like that they are going to keep a few of the stang traits. Unlike most car designers.
