Sources within Ford have now told insideline that these photos depict a close rendition of what the 2015 mustang will look like.
A step in the wrong direction in my opinion.
Well I parted with my 9th gen si

I was wondering what the Chrysler Engineers were doing with that design. Lol.
I hope the Mustang won't look toned down. If it gets the awful 2013 Fusion front end, I'll step down.

I like the current Mustang for the classic lines. Modern look not going to work for me. I could appreciate a completely new modern design but a half breed not too much.

And the tail lights that mimic the challenger/charger
In my opinion they're doing the same thing they did when they came out with the "futuristic" looking Mustang in the 90's. I wasn't really a fan of that one, but this rendering has enough classic cues to keep my interest. I can't lie...I've loved the current body style since they introduced it. They can't really take it much further though, so I can understand this being another "futuristic" evolutionary step. It looks nothing like it, but for some reason it reminds me of the Mach 3 concept they did years ago.

Yeah, Ford apparently felt the same way.
Matchbox however did put it out in a 1:64 version.

Well like most times when designers change the look of an old classic people tend to always react negative at first, but it eventually grows on people and they accept it. Kinda like when they changed the headlights on the vette and now the new taillight design. I love the way classic cars were designed especially the muscle cars. The s197 to me is the best looking mustang since the muscle car era died out. It's a modern but classic look, and since 2011 the 302 has been back in the gt, with that I believe ford finally got it near perfect, if only they had done away with the solid rear axle. With this new design I believe they are screwing up again, but never the less the car will sell like it always has and people will enjoy it as they have for decades.

Congrats man! I really like the classic mustangs too. I don't know much about em but I really like how they look. Especially the 1966 GT-350H Shelby. Hope you enjoy your car and stick around!
