They ruined it. The concept was kick-ass, but this production version looks like it was shrunk down.

Well they must of done something right if NFS4 actually likes it since he is such a pain in the ass to please especially when it comes to domestics.

I heard on another forum its a v6 body test mule with a v8 in it.

Yep. First thought that came to my mind. '70-'73 Mach 1. Big, fat, and ugly...

Agreed, but I think it looks like just a rework of the current model.

ive seen that car around here a lot,
the funnyt spotted paint is hard to forget...

I think the screwed the lines on the production car. The concept was more angular and seemed flatter and more robust. The white thing looks like the current mustang with new front and rear ends

I love:

The front end, nice mix of updating the classic Mustang look.
The interior WOW
The retro-look numbers on the gauges... and being able to customize the dash lights and stuff...sweet.
I like how they moved the fog lamps to mimic the Early Mustang GT.


The ass end, needs some work, but we are seeing it somewhat out of proportion to the whole car. It may improve once you see it out and about.

Also dont like the square console, it should be more rounded/tapered.


I half expect the concept taillights and rear bumper cover, hood, quarter window covers and front-end treatment to show up on a Special Edition, maybe a SVT Mustang or something.
