Wow fugly.
I dont like the lines on the sides (reminds me more of a BMW Z8... and I hate those) and I think they pulled the front bumper in too far... Not that I could buy one if I loved it!
Actually the whole thing reminds me of a larger scale Z8.
I think it would look alot better if they made the bottom "C scallop" line run parallel with the bottom of the door.
Fugly ass car. Looks WAY too much like a camaro for me.
I actually kind of like it. Then again, I like Guigiaro's stuff. The I'm not a fan of the Lambo doors or the py seat treatments (is that Palimino?), but the overall lines of the car are pretty good.
The only thing that turns me off of it is that it's a "Mustang". I think that they should have let Guigiaro do something similar for a Cougar perhaps instead of another Mustang.
This coming from the guy who HATES new cars.
the reason i call it fugly is the fact that it looks like they are trying to take the new camaro for a spin in ford paint and badges. I hate the new camaro its ulgy.
Lambo doors :yuck:
i like the rear but i would change a few things with it.
I would like to see the mustang stay the way it is for awhile, mabey with a few minor changes but nothing that drastic.
It looks to me like the mating of the "new" camaro and the newest viper, only the poor thing has the misfortune of a running horse badge on it's front end...
With that being said, whoever sees one of these hideous things on the road should have a large-caliber anti-tank round, at least 60mm, and put the goled thing out of it's, and our, misery!
I'm sorry, but that looks like a blatant (and piss-poor) rip-off of the camaro concept. (which IMO, is ugly enough)
Why can't they make a retro-styled Cougar, instead of 50,000 ugly mustangs!? :beatyoass:
Hmmm the thing has a glass roof a direct violation of us law, if it makes it here (god i hope not) those glass roof's will be replaced with metal.
Volkswagon about a year ago was considering importing the new minibus, but could not because it had a glass roof and they were not willing to chance that fact.
Man,that sucks.It must've been designed by someone other than a real car guy.
WTF is that thing? Thats some fugly stuff.
DUuuuuh, they should make a new Cougar like that...
duuuuuuh...
In all honesty, they shouldn't make ANYTHING like that. Nor should anyone try to remake our cars, because we'd never be happy with 'em anyway.
i think i threw up in my mouth a little.:barf:
I agree and its ed fugly. If ford is going to crawl out of the financial slump its in that kind of aint gonna cut it. Where the hell is my S197 cougar!?

It's kinda funky. Really the concept of having a famed Italian design company re-do a current hot-selling car is brilliant. It's like seeing the same car but from a different point of view, reinterpreted if you will. Things are definitely more exaggerated--I think that's the point of this whole exercise--but it still retains current Mustang cues. Decent job in that respect. There is, unfortunately, a LOT of new Camaro in the design that may or may not be intentional. But look at things like the jump in the shoulder over the rear wheels. That has been missing from Mustangs since 1979. The original Mustangs had that line. It makes sense here because it makes the rear wheels look more muscular and hunched down in the rear quarters. From other views (http://"http://jalopnik.com/cars/concept-cars/ciao-pony-giugiaro-mustang-concept-revealed-217564.php"), though, the car is pretty out of proportion and doesn't have quite the punch that the Camaro concept does.
Also...keep in mind that we could be seeing shades of the next version of the Mustang in this car. Remember what PPG did with the '84 PPG Thunderbird concept car (http://"http://foxthundercats.com/tcconcepts.htm")? And then Ford put most of those styling cues (flush glass, aero front end, etc.) into production for 1987? Could be happening here, too. What better way to hide things than in plain sight. ;)
Theres a company that makes a glass roof for the current Mustang. So why is it a violation? They make cars without roofs.
(shrugs) They would not let volkswagon bring over the glass roofed mini bus.
When you get down to it... The car screams Italian from every angle. Looks like it could be an Italian sports car, infact it is an Italian sports car designers car. "Our" Mustang is not Italian, never has been and never will be.
You're not kidding I don't think an italian design firm has any business even thinking about the mustang.
A little late in this thread, but hey, another Jalopnik reader! Save the Enzos :)
