i like everything but the rear end...thats gotta go

I don't like it.
-I love the looks of the 99+, especially the new Mach 1, but to me this Mustang is screaming ugly.

-The front of it is ok, I don't like the two big holes where the grills are. The hood isn't too bad.

-The side is ok.

-The rear looks more like something of an 80s Ferrari than a Retro Mustang.

-The interior, it's just hideous.

Don't turn this into a "Brand Loyal" battle either, because I like Mustangs and hate Camaros too. This is just my opinion....

just my opinion but i think that mustang looks ugly. The front looks like a pickup truck to me and everything else on it just doesnt look right. I think its a cool idea to have it retro like the late 60's stangs but this just doesnt look right to me. I hope they have lots of power in them because i sure know i wouldnt buy one unless the GT came with well over 300hp. Things might get changed some since they do have 2 years before they are released.

Also im not sure how true this is but heard from someone or some where that the camaro will be making a return in like 2005 but completely remodled and all?? i could be wrong just wondering if anyone else heard this?

That's the gayest Mustang I've seen since the MustangII (no offense).

What a joke.

Looks like GTO sales will be up.

Take care,
~Chris

omg, that thing is HIDEOUS! geez, can that front grill get any uglier?

Looks like the ford design team took a page out of the Aztec design book... ugh.


I don't like a thing about the exterior at all, except maybe the hood. The brake lights are fugly. But the interior isn't bad in a nice retro way.

Overall I have to give a major thumbs down on that design.


fwiw I liked the 99's when I first saw them. There were a couple of things that I didn't care too much for but I can't say the same for this new mustang. I certianly hope Ford changes their mind on this one.


***EDIT***

I understand they are going for a full retro look on this car. The front is a throw back to the Mach series cars, the interior is a throwback to the 60's but I can't figure out the tail lights... and over all the look is jumbled and ugly.

WTF?

Man are you sure about that being the new Mustang and not some kind of concept just to wet the public's appetite?

Daniel.

i think the front looks beautiful...i like the way the hood looks with it too...but that interior is the worst design EVER! and that rearend just looks like it would be better off being smacked up in an accident...geez...i love the idea of bringing that front end back though...

...the interior is just much much too "retro"...it needs to stay closer to the more comfortable setting like the newer stangs have...the mach 1 is a perfect example of making a comfortable retro interior...

Hmm.. I think it's NOT that bad looking... but it doesn't come across as a Mustang. And does it only seat 2? Can't really tell by the pictures. All I know is Ford has less then 2 years to fix it.

BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD!!!!!!!
 

Back when we found out that the next Mustang was going to be redesiged with the 60's Mustangs in mind I said it was a bad idea. I said we'll have another Mustang II on our hands. Everyone told me I was crazy, and said it would look great. I don't wanna say I told you so, but it looks like my worst fears are now reality.

Now someone at Ford needs to be dragged out in the street, and shot dead for this. That front end looks sad, like the car is saying "KILL ME". The front is awful, the side is awful, and the rear is REALLY awful. Don't even get me started on that signal light/fog light combination. The interior is the only thing on it that's halfway decent. It's a dang good thing the Camaro isn't around anymore, because their sells would go through the roof, and the Mustang probably wouldn't be around much longer.

Ford better fix this, and fix it quick!!!!!!

I absolutely, positively love it. Wait a second--no, no I don't!

That's the stupidest, ugliest, dumbest looking Mustang/Mustang concept I've ever seen. I would be disgraced to call that a Ford. If Ford actually produces that, or anything CLOSE to that, I'll, well, I don't know what I'll do, but I won't buy that damn car!:mad:

Yuck......I was so looking forward to an 05' Cobra but if thats what it will look like count me out.

I will have to go with plan B.....Which is a Cadillac Escalade for my women;) ..

women?...and i thought one was bad enough....hehe :p:D

oops I meant woman. Trust me having one is bad enough I love her but damn can she go throught the cash.:D

Where are the door handles, and emblems (like the Ford, and GT emblems)?

Hopefully that's a clue that it's not what will actually be on the road.

First of all it is ugly.

Second of all that is the old concept pictures photoshopped onto the Motor Trend article that first had a story on the 99 Mustang. I cant remember what month it was but I am 100% sure that is true.

whoa whoa whoa..calm down. breathe.. breathe...

ok first, it won't look like that,( i hope) some of the styling cues might be in their but their is no way its gonna be that ultra swang of an interior..its not cost effective an certainly isn' t cheap for all that brushed aluminum an chrome..
second, thats a prototype car. which life is measure in mere months. if that was what it was gonna look like ford would already be makin them an you'd see em in private collections before hitting the sales floor..

give ford a lil more credit/time guys before ya hang em for treason. these are the creators of our car, an their defnitely takin some retro stylings from the 60's(i like the size, IMO the mustang has gotten too big(94-03) its nice to see them bring it back down on a smaller platform. not quite sure about the aluminum 'round the head lights. i liked the sunken effect in the concept alot better(very 67 Shelby IMO.)

an keep in mind this is stock, jus WAIT TILL saleen steeda, rousch get a hold of it..answer honestly would you guys ever keep this mustang stock??:confused:

patience stangers, Ford's got an ace up their sleeves... i can feel it :cool:

SO GLAD I JUST BOUGHT A NEW MUSTANG GOOD FOR AT LEAST 5 - 10 YEARS OF FUN.....Maybe by then they will redsign that abortion...Did they mention engine? Do we have idea of what will be available in engine platforms....Because damn..if it is that ugly it better be in the 360 hp range...LOL...with a big butt like that, wooooo I'm thinking not....and watch it will cost ...24,000.00 base for a V-6 with a Taurus engine in it...LOL

Good slip Bro....and here is a funny little economic law for all you gents to learn....

"Your propensity to spend is directly proportional to your income".... so if you twist it to the microeconomic law of ladies.....

"our ability to spend your income is directly proportinal to what you make (+ some)".....

So..Yep, we ladies are expensive habits....LOL... So far from what I have observed from you fellas on MW....(and I'm paraphrasing) we are slightly crazy, never make up our minds, bad drivers, PMS cases who spend all your cash.... Why do you guys even bother? ;)

LOL
~Jenn~ :D

I am not going there:D

This reminds me of some pictures my brother showed me of a car Isuzu was going to build. It had a flashy interior, and exterior styling that was overly modern looking. When the car actually came out the body lines were the same, but the car had been built with a more cost effective interior, and the exterior styling was toned down a bit. That may be what these pictures are. I really don't think this car is all that bad. If they address the lighting and install some wrap-around head lights and make the tail lights look more retro to the Mustang instead of the 67 Cougar I think it could work.

I think this is a much better design myself...

I will hunt you down and kill you.

:D

come on people WAKE UP!!!!! I can't believe for one second that you people are gonna sit here and actully believe that this is the Mustang that will be hitting showroom floors. It is 2003, the new stang isn't due out itill 2005!!!!! It's gonna look TOTALY different in 2 years, this stang is obviously just a concept car. Remember the Mach III?

If I remember correctly we are supposed to see the 2005 Stang at the Auto Show this month. I may be wrong.

I'm not saying that is or isn't the new design. I'm just saying if it is I don't think it would be all that bad if they made a few changes. It more than likely is just a concept car, but who knows?

That is some funny ****, PKRWUD in the gayest stang ever made LMAO!!!

He doesn't look at all right in that car does he? :D

maybe he just likes the blonde riding shotgun... :D

BBBBBBBAAAAAAAAAaaWWWWWWAaAaAHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!


OK OK OK!! lmao !!!1

Only one question, "Is her wet little grin due to the placement of PKRWUDs hands or what??"

roflmfao!!!
Sorry babe but can you get your428ci in that thing ?

OMG ... saying that monstrosity looks like a 60's Mustang is an insult to my entire generation !!! It looks like a sad face with droopy eyes ???
I kinda like the interior ... it looks early Thunderbird ... the tail i don't like but i could live with, but that droopy faced front end is hideous. It has potential :D
Chris .... shame on you man ... how old is she ? She looks like a highschool cheerleader ! LMAO
2Fast ... i'm not sure you should be allowed to own Photo Shop ! lol You're dangerous ! As long as you're tinkerin why don't you see if you can do something with the front end on that car !

<<Sorry babe but can you get your428ci in that thing >>
lol I'm not even gonna comment lolol

"...much better design"
 

Glad I decided to check this thread out again... I needed a good laugh, thanks 2Fast, LOL!!:D

I don't believe that Ford is going to replace the current design with that fugly variation of a Mustang... at least, I hope not. :)

Didn't like the spy photos, and I certainly don't like the 'real' photos.

PKRWUD doesn't look at all impressed with it, btw.. but at least the chick sitting shotgun can find some humor in the whole situation. :D

anybody read that? :confused:

Nope.:p;)

To be contrarian....
 

I'm gonna shock everyone and say that they are on the right track, but there are some stylizing points that still need to be addressed...

first, the back end is FUGLY! What was the designer thinking when they put that one up? The current stangs since 94.5 have been closer to correct.

Second, it is too stylized and squared-off. They tried too hard to modernize it and keep elements of the original design. What they are in need of is some soft curving.

at a glance, its really a nice concept. At a glance, it looks nice. It's just this particular execution isn't quite there yet.

BTW, forget 2005... the premiere WILL be 2004-1/2! Mark my words now. I think every self-respecting mustang fan will agree with that. it'll be the 40th anniversary that way. So, start getting concerned that they may not fix it before then!

I never even really thought of that. Maybe they will release the car next year. Maybe this will be the new Mustang. In a way I hope it isn't, but in another way I kinda hope it is, as long as they make a few changes. Like I said before (and the pic I made with Chris behind the wheel proves it), the car looks like it is made for yuppies. I couldn't see myself behind the wheel of that car. It's just not "Muscle" enough. But I don't think that is the new Mustang. It sits too low :D

Look at it this way... If that is the new Stang you have to admit... At least Ford FINALLY filled the wheel openings and lowered the car a little bit. The 4 wheel drive look has been going on since the original 64 1/2 Mustang. Maybe the new suspension setup they are working with allows them to lower the car and maintain ride quality?? Who knows. We'll find out soon enough, and I'm sure Ford will not let us down. I thought the 94-95 Mustangs were just plain ugly, but they have grown on me.

A slow, painful, agonizing death.

:D

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!! :D :D :D

Personally, I'm getting tired of all this "retro" CRAP :mad:. Hey, come up with something new! Ford did it in 94 and refined it in 99, so do it again! Seems like people are just running out of ideas... Yes, the 64 1/2 mustang and all the previous ones were great, but let it go.... Come up with something new, don't go backwards. (the Foxes are my personal favorites, but I don't want to see any retros of them...) So, what are they gonna do when they're done with retroing the to the late 60s stangs? I guess when that's old, they'll retro back to the fox stangs for 2010 and then the sn95s for 2013, and then maybe retro to the retro 2005 stangs for 2018 :rolleyes: .... BLAAAAAHHHH....

I didn't mean for that to sound like Chris was the yuppy. I meant for it to mean Chris is the gear head, and he doesn't look right behind the wheel of that car. After reading my last post I can see where that could be taken the other way ;)

sketch shot
 

looks a little better in the tail in this shot ;)

ultraflo, that picture is mother ******* hilarious. I laughed my *** off. Definitely saving that one and hopefully will be able to use it in the future. Wow.....

Now I just have to get my stomach muscles to relax again....

Re: sketch shot
 

I don't know about the rest of you but i like that wayyyyyy better !! :D

<< What they are in need of is some soft curving.>>

OMG dude ... anything but that ! Everything on the road now has that same round smooth dull lifeless shape. You can't tell a toyota from a honda or a 98 from a 02 ?? Please, give me some creases ... some corners ... something where i can tell its a Mustang without having to walk up and look at the emblem !

Re: sketch shot
 

now those are the taillights they need!

Re: Re: sketch shot
 

i hope ford checks this board, cuz those lights definetly work wonders to that new design theyve got in the works...mustangs need that tri-light :cool:...definetly a much nicer rearend...

Re: Re: Re: sketch shot
 

Now thats retro tastefully done ... modern yet unquestionably Mustang.

I still hold to the idea that the new Mustang will look good. Consider how different the SN95 cars were from their concept. Basically, any car with a team of people working to make it a bad asss pony car should turn out ok. If not, we'll lynch Druids.;) J/K man, we'd never do that.

I'm going to the preview night for LA Friday, but don't excpect to see anything better than the Mach 1 or maybe the GT40. Figure they'll show the 04.5 in Detroit, and expect that everybody will be pleased with the final product.

I mean, how bad could it really be? It's never going to be a Chevy!:D

i dunno back in the drawing board phase of all this hooplah I heard different things.. they were talkin bout nixin the 3.8 an goin with another variation of the 6 or possibly a turbocharged 4.. but 've heard nothin definite. i've heard everything from the ol 4.6 SOCH to a modular 5 liter cobra engine... i dunno, what ever is it, with this smaller, tighter platform, the v8's are gonna be a hairy ride..

hey PKRWUD..anyone ever tell you ya look like Toby keith?

What's a toby keith?

Actually I'd rather drive a Chevy than that abomination. I never thought I'd say that about a Mustang, but it's true.



BTW Toby Keith is a country music singer, and you do look like him. :D

I don't think that is what it is going to look like at all. Maybe some of the same features, but overall I think it will be very different.
