Here's a link to an article about the car. Thank God it's just a concept /show car, but I figured it was. Let's hope the actual car will look better.

At least it's got 400hp. :D

Yee-haw.

Ya know, I was kind of thinking Ogre, from Revenge of the Nerds.:D

I think this pretty much sums up what we are wondering about...

Taken from the articles at the website Fireman posted:
With the Mustang convertible Ford is unveiling at the North American International Auto Show, the automaker will take a giant step forward into the past. This thinly disguised version of the all-new Mustang going into production later this year was born in the automaker’s Living Legends styling studio. And if it evokes a sense of déjà vu, that’s precisely what Ford Design Director J Mays had in mind.

"How close are the show cars to what will actually hit the street in 2004? Close, but those who’ve seen the final designs say they’re actually more impressed with the production vehicles. The taillights, for one thing, will be more true to the original design."

It's probably going to resemble the artist rendering previously posted in this topic. Now that I reall like :D

nice
 

Nice article ! specially the part about the 400 H/P ;)

If you ask me Chris looks like one mean mother ******. lol If that guy came to my house asking for me, I'd be pretty worried. :D :D

How tall are you? You look fairly tall in the pic with your goate.

Also as for the Mustang, it'll be interesting what comes out of it. It'll take time to adapt to it. I know I'm pretty impressed with the engine

I'm not liking 20 inch rims, but it'll have but 12.8 Brembo vented breaks that are pretty nice.

The rear lights of the 2005 stang also give me that Shelby rear lights kinda effect. I'm not really suer what Ford is trying to accomlish with it but time will only tell.

§am.

just noticed they said that near the end....thats a good thing :)

Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse!!! :eek: :confused:

LOL!! I hope you aren't the one that photochopped that! That's terrible! Funny as hell, though!!!

:D :D :D

Take care,
~Chris

Nope not me. I just found it on the net. :D

That's cool, i didn't think it was you. Thanks for posting it, though. I still am laughing when I see it! lol

:D

Take care,
~Chris

Ya know it's scary, but I think it looks a little better than the actual taillights. :confused:

I was going to ask if you guys can read, because if you had you would know that it is a concept and the real thing will be different in certain areas.

I believe they will have the red convertable concept you have seen above at the North American Int'l Autoshow in Detroit and a silver coupe concept. Key word.......Concept, not production.

They will get it right. Don't worry. How many of you disliked the SN-95 design when that debuted?

I think the coupe is going to look very badass. And apparently the seats in the concept are very very nice according to Motor Trend. Very confortable and supportive that is.

Lets wait and see until the real thing is here.

Anyone remember the Mach III Mustang? That was a far cry different from the actual production model. And the more I look at this car the less I dislike it. I still think it could use a few changes, but it's not all bad. I think a Coupe version would look a lot better.

What did he say? I can't read it. :confused:

;)

Take care,
~Chris

:eek: Holy crap PKRWUD! That's one hell of a smiley band you got going there.

They jam, dude! You should hear them cover Skynyrd!

:)

Take care,
~Chris

I think you need to get the groupie on the far right off the stage :D

No way, dude, he's got the nitrous filled ballons!

:D

Oh, I see. That makes him the star of the band then. Not the groupie LOL.

He also drives the bus.

Check your messages Chris.

you too.

;)

dude, your box is full. I'm in the RHC chat right now:

I think this Mustang is ******* beautiful. Since it will be awhile until production, I'm sure things will be changed. I'm positive that interior will never make production althought the guages are beautiful. And I hope the "Cougar" taillights don't show up on the real one. And this thing SURE AS HELL looks like it was designed off the late 60's Mustangs. It is everything that was sexy about the 60's Mustangs with nice, new, clean, modern lines. This car is a marvel of automotive design in my opinion. And I feel it has captured the very spirit that made the first Mustang a sensation back in 1964!

I have a feeling what is happening here is you people have gotten so used to your Mustangs that the idea of something new comes under too high an expectation. A expectation that simply can't be met(not to say this concept fall short). I remember when the '99 came out: many people hated the design. I thought it was fantastic! Finally, Ford brought back a tough, musclecar appearance. Now many people have warmed up to it. I personally can't stand SN95's they are so pansy looking IMO. I know I drive an LX which many may feel is pansy looking, but I don't. There is a huge difference between a 4cyl LX and a 5.0, it has to do with the tailpipes and pony's obviously. I also kept the black trim which is a very prominant and masculine feature, I don't know why people paint it body color.

To get back to the point at hand, I think you people should take it easy and give it a little time to grow on you and if you're not the first one in line at your local dealership, then come back and start trashing it again!

Don't get confused, now. I'm not saying people should keep there opinions on the new concept to themselves. I'm saying stop all the hardcore trashing of each others opinions. Time will tell all and meanwhile here are some more pics!

guages...

flashback....

they should have used a '68 or even a '69 mach 1

That's the concept that's at the auto shows right now. Officially, it was designed with a '67 in mind, and there will be many changes before production. But, that is the look they are going for.

When I fist saw this car I didn't like it all that much. Especially the front and back of the car. But the more I look at it the more I absolutely love it. I think I just had to see the Coupe (or Fastback) for it to really grab my attention. I have seen drawings of what is "believed" to be the actual production model, and it is by far the most beautiful Mustang ever made in my opinion. It closely resembles this car, but there are some very distinct differences. If it's actually the one they plan to build it is the Mustang I have been waiting a long time for, and I will be buying a 2005 Cobra as soon as they are released. I can't wait!

The artical I read, said that the mustang was always a bread winner for ford. If it was good then why such a dramatic change? I think it is butt ugly, I hate the idea, to me it looks like ford is going after the buick roadmaster crowd. Why not a F-1 fighter look. Make it look tough and fast even when it is sitting still. Its just like the thunder bird when I see one it's some old fart with a penis problem behind the wheel. And I always say to myself what a dumbass.

Some one here that is better at computers than me ( all of you) should start a poll. With only 2 choices, "go" or "no"

Hey, I just realized what the stupid tail lights on this concept remind me of. Remember those lousy '91-'94 mercury capri convertibles!!! HAHAHAHAHA the taillights had a very similar appearance.

Anyway, I love this concept car, I'm just scared that they're going to change too much for production and I'll no longer like it!

Here's a pic of a capri, someone actual put a hardtop on this one, but you see my point with the taillights!

05 stang:

front - good

side - better

back - designed by a blind crackhead

I love the whold damn car!! I think the back end on the one at the auto show is sweet. I could do without some of the interior lines but the seats are sweet. I would definately buy one if I had the means.
