look at all the new lexus models.
All the Hyundai.s
BMW etc.

I think it has to do with the Mustang has been different from the line up over the years.
I mean, it draws minor items into its design for cost savings, but really when you see a Mustang(v6,v8,shelby,etc) you know it is a Mustang.

Thing is, when I look at this one, it still screams "Mustang" to me.

Steve since you prolly know where it is offhand, theres a rendering of what this would look like without the covers. and it looks good.

I think I know what you're talking about, and it did look pretty good. I try not to rely on those too much because you never know, but based on how the front looks vs. how it looked under cover you definitely get the feeling that the body shape is going to be very trim and sculpted with good proportions. Somewhat low slung and very sporty with dimensions more in line with an M4 (M3 Coupe) than the current S197 chassis Mustangs. You can tell that it's smaller inside just by looking at the driver.

I'm excited for it. Lots of cool new cars in the pipeline.

Wow, the whole is it just a fusion from bumper clipped onto the Mustang debate is heating up. Photoshop masters coming out, etc.
I remember an older article about Ford having a new machine that produces prototype body panels, was very cool.

It's too well developed to be a fake front end. The photographer trespassed onto private property to get those shots. It's legit, and Ford is pissed, but they are keeping quiet about it.
