Looks like a mix of new body Eclipse, new body Mustang, and new body Vette. I thinks it's fugly. I hope Ford keeps the power, though. 260 hp for a v6 would be sweet. Even now the 4.0 in v6 Mustangs are pretty quick. Ford needs to step up and put into production higher displacement blocks. 4.6 and 5.4 are too small.
why would Ford want a car to look like the rivaling Camaro? it looks ok.. but resembles the camaro too much..

I like it. It's friggin sexy as hell. It's designed between Ford design boss J Mays and an italian designer Fabrizio Giugiaro. It resembles a cross between the Ford Shelby GR1 Concept Car and the new Camaro.

He wasnt saying that was Ford's intention...he was just stating that in his own personal opinion. I love the fact that chevy is bringing the Camaro back. That just means that Ford is going to be forced to make the Mustang better. For a couple years now, they've had complete control over domestic mid-range sports cars, with no motivation to improve. Now they have a their rival back, so it could get interesting once again.

for some reason that thing reminds me of a c6 vette
Exactly!!! i kept looking at that pic thinking those fender well flares are sooo big and the car reminds me of another,, and then i read your post and you are correct, it does remind of a vette...
really if they just flaten the fender wells alittle and change the rear end to a new edge style,.., hell, it look just like

If it's going to be more compact, doesn't that mean it could be lighter? Therefore, possibly handle a bit better and perform better overall...? That's the direction Ford should go...Without losing V8 power of course...A European touch would make the Stang a much better car overall..and a bit more classy.
i live in detroit and go to the auto show every year and seriously when i saw the new camaro, i laughed it looked like **** close up. Of course this is all based on opinion, its too low, has way to big of rims for the size of the car and looks extremely long. Horrible!
lets get a new mustang that still has the stang look they just keep getting further and further away from it if i bought one of these it would be only cause i love my stang and the Horsepower is crazy on them
